Ultrasound Scan Test for Kideny
A kidney ultrasound (renal ultrasound) is a type of imaging examination that allows your doctor to examine your right and left kidneys as well as your bladder. Your kidneys are your body’s filtration mechanism. They remove waste items from your blood. The waste materials are ultimately expelled from your body as urine. With this test, your healthcare practitioner may additionally require a “post-void.” You must arrive at the test with a full bladder so that the provider may measure the capacity of your bladder before and after you empty it.
