Evaluates kidney size, shape, and position. Detects abnormalities such as cysts, tumors, or kidney enlargement.
Identifies stones within the kidneys or ureters, which can cause pain, blockages, or infections.
Helps evaluate bladder wall thickness and capacity. Detects abnormalities such as bladder tumors, diverticula, or stones.
Identifies blockages in the urinary tract caused by stones, scar tissue, or tumors. Evaluates hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidneys due to urine backup).
Assesses the bladder's ability to empty completely, which is crucial for diagnosing conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or neurogenic bladder.
Identifies structural causes of recurrent kidney or bladder infections, such as reflux or anatomical anomalies.
Used to guide catheter placement or other interventions involving the urinary tract.
Tracks changes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or bladder dysfunction.
The kidneys and bladder play essential roles in filtering waste, regulating fluid balance, and removing toxins from the body. Early diagnosis of issues with a renal and bladder ultrasound can prevent complications, guide effective treatment, and promote better urinary health. This imaging is an essential tool for ensuring the proper function of the urinary system.
