Kidney ultrasound is a fast and painless way to receive information for prevention and treatment of nephrological diseases.
A patient strips to the waist and lies on an examination table, first on the one side, then on the other. A doctor, specialist in the functional diagnosis, sets special sensors on certain points on the patient’s back. They transmit ultrasound to a powerful computer, where the waves are converted into an image. The doctor sees the real image of kidneys on the monitor and interprets it.
The examination procedure lasts 20 minutes and has no contraindications.
A doctor may prescribe kidney biopsy, which is one of the invasive examination methods.
