Ultrasound is usually not serious, patients. Because this method is non-invasive, so the skin under it is not damaged. Some, however, fear of radiation, but it is possible to calm them – it's not x-rays, negative effects do not exist when the procedure "ultrasound of the kidneys". Decoding the same image on the screen for a person without medical training is almost impossible, so trust the insights of their doctors.

What can be seen on ultrasound of the kidneys? Usually the doctor can assess the presence, shape and size of the kidneys on the basis of this procedure. You can also assess the blood supply to the kidneys and also to see the condition of the urinary tract.

A Special transducer sends sound waves of extremely high frequency (ultrasound) through the skin to the organs. These waves are “bounce”, reflecting from different structures of the body. Converter these wave catches and transmits information in the form of an image that sees a doctor during a renal ultrasound.

Different fabrics in different ways prevent the penetration of ultrasonic waves. The fastest waves travel through the bone, and the slowest – through air-filled space. The Converter picks up, how quickly and to what extent returns the wave and thus the doctor can see on the screen different results.

Before the procedure on the skin will cause a clear gel to contact with the transducer was a maximum and there was no distortion and to ensure good sliding of the transducer over the skin.

Also, when a special mode ultrasound using the Doppler effect, we can estimate the blood flow. The doctor will notice if there is an obstruction or cessation of blood flow to specific areas of the kidney.

Ultrasound is not harmful for pregnant women and Allergy sufferers as it does not use radioactive rays or paint-allergens.

That may reveal a renal ultrasound? Not only problems with the kidneys. Also visible irregularities in the ureters and the bladder. It is possible to reveal cysts, ascites, abscesses, tumors, narrowing of the duct, and sometimes one can suspect the infection. Not only kidneys, but also associated organs.

Also under the control of us may take a sample of tissue-a biopsy. For example, this is done when it is necessary to open the cyst or when it is necessary to place the drainage tube. After surgery transplant also prescribe an ultrasound to observe how are you feeling tissues of the new kidney. In short, the applications of this procedure very much.

Because the procedure is harmless, no risk of application no. But it may be ineffective in some cases.

  • For very pronounced obesity (3-4 degree);
  • With the recent use of barium compounds (when they have not come out from the body);
  • With a large flatulence.

However, in most cases, there is no obstacle to the use of renal ultrasound. Preparation is usually very simple, does not require fasting or taking particular substances. The only “but” if the doctor is planning to look at the bladder, it is necessary that it was filled, that is to the toilet before the procedure can not walk, and need to drink a lot of fluids.

Experienced people recommend not wearing the new underwear, as the gel used for the procedure, sometimes bad dirt.

However, sometimes, the doctor insists on training, but this is usually only for cases when the ultrasound is combined with some other procedure.

As a rule, during the procedure, the patient lies on his stomach. If you are applying the Doppler effect, you will hear the characteristic sounds. In the case when the doctor examines also the bladder, you will be asked to void, and then possibly explore in a blank state.

The Only thing that is unpleasant in this procedure – the necessity of lying in one position. However, this method is much better than many, why settle for an ultrasound of the kidneys, it will not bring harm, but a doctor can tell a lot about the state of the urinary tract and kidneys.
