Can an Abdominal Ultrasound Detect Kidney Problems?

An abdominal ultrasound can help doctors identify several structural problems affecting the kidneys. Using sound waves, the scan provides images of the kidneys and helps assess their size, shape and internal structure. It may detect kidney stones, cysts, swelling caused by urinary obstruction (hydronephrosis) and certain structural abnormalities. Doctors may recommend an ultrasound for symptoms such as persistent side or back pain, blood in the urine or recurrent urinary infections. The test is non-invasive and does not use ionising radiation. Aarna Diagnostic Centre provides abdominal and kidney ultrasound imaging for detailed assessment when clinically recommended.
