Introduction: This study aimed to describe the clinical, ultrasound, and biological correlation in the diagnosis of chronic renal failure at CIMED and the Donka National Hemodialysis Center.

Materials and methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study lasting 16 months from November 1, 2021, to March 31, 2023. Study variables were sociodemographic, clinical, and paraclinical. 

Results: During the study period, 6943 ultrasound scans were performed, 48 of which showed CKD (0.7%). There was a predominance of males, with a sex ratio of 1.08. The mean age was 52, with extremes of 17 and 78. Blue-collar workers were the most common socio-professional group (33.3%). The edematous syndrome was the most frequent reason for consultation (33.3%). Severe CKD was the most common in our study (56.3%). Ultrasound stage III was the most frequent, accounting for 52.1% of cases. There was a correlation between a decrease in creatinine clearance and an increase in the ultrasound stage of CKD and an increase in the severity of CKD with an increase in the ultrasound stage.

Conclusion: Our study made it possible to cross-reference clinical, ultrasound, and biological data of chronic renal failure, allowing us to observe significant trends by location which suggests a correlation between these different aspects in the diagnosis of chronic renal failure within the practice of medical imaging for exploration and diagnostics (CIMED) and at the Donka National Hemodialysis Center in Conakry.
