Renal Ultrasound

Service Description

The Renal ultrasound study is an accurate and non-invasive way in which to examine the function of the kidneys. The kidneys play an important role in the removal of waste in your body. Your renal system consists of the kidneys, ureters and bladder. A renal ultrasound can detect anatomic issues to ensure renal and bladder health. It can also detect cysts, masses, stones or blockages of the ureters and/or the kidneys. Renal ultrasound uses real time imaging and color Doppler to evaluate the renal system. It takes less than 30 minutes and there is no prep required for a renal ultrasound.
