Description
Sample Required:
No sample is required for an ultrasound of the renal and kidneys with post-micturition imaging. This imaging test utilizes sound waves to create detailed images of the kidneys and surrounding structures after the patient has emptied their bladder.
Test Time:
The Ultrasound Renal & Kidneys (Post Mict) procedure typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific aspects being examined.
Test Normal Range:
Ultrasound imaging is used for diagnostic purposes, and there is no specific normal range for the results. The images are assessed by a radiologist or healthcare provider to identify any abnormalities or issues in the renal and kidney region.
What is the Test?
Ultrasound of the renal and kidneys with post-micturition imaging is a diagnostic procedure used to visualize the kidneys, ureters, and surrounding structures. Post-micturition imaging involves capturing images after the patient has emptied their bladder, providing additional information about the renal system.
Test Procedure:
During the Ultrasound Renal & Kidneys (Post Mict), a gel is applied to the skin of the lower back, and a handheld device called a transducer is moved over the gel-covered area. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves, and the echoes produced are used to create real-time images of the renal and kidney region.
When to Take the Test:
Ultrasound Renal & Kidneys (Post Mict) may be ordered by healthcare providers to investigate kidney function, assess urinary tract issues, or identify abnormalities in the renal and kidney region.
Who Should Take This Test:
Individuals with suspected kidney issues, those requiring renal and kidney assessments, or those with specific conditions affecting the urinary tract may be candidates for Ultrasound Renal & Kidneys (Post Mict). This test helps healthcare providers diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the renal system.
Precautions for Exceptional Cases (Pregnancy, etc.):
Ultrasound of the renal and kidneys with post-micturition imaging is generally considered safe for most individuals, including pregnant women. It does not use ionizing radiation.
