kidney ultrasound

Kidney ultrasound is an auxiliary test to check if the kidneys are normal. Examination of renal function with B-mode ultrasound has been widely used clinically. The anatomy of the kidney itself provides good conditions for B-ultrasound. The structure of the kidney, such as the capsule, the essence, and the renal pelvis, can be displayed by B-ultrasound. B-ultrasound can accurately measure the size, location and morphology of the kidney, identify whether the tumor in the kidney is cystic or solid, measure the size of the transplanted kidney and continuously observe changes in the transplanted kidney. Basic Information Specialist classification: urinary examination classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: You should maintain normal sleep and diet before the test. Normal value The size, location, and shape of the kidneys are in line with clinical normal standards. The kidneys may have problems, and there are no tumors or lumps in the kidneys. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Acute kidney injury, peri-renal abscess, and retroperitoneal hematoma were examined. B-mode ultrasonography is also very meaningful for the diagnosis of adrenal diseases. The loss is advanced to the mid-term, such as adrenal hyperplasia or tumors. B-mode ultrasound can be used to diagnose kidney function with B-mode ultrasound. People who need to be examined: suspected of abnormal kidneys. Precautions Contraindications before examination: Normal sleep and diet should be maintained before examination. Requirements for examination: The patient takes the supine position according to the doctor's instructions, the doctor carefully checks and observes the results patiently. Inspection process The doctor applies the lubricating oil to the inspection site and scans it with a scanner. The principle is to emit ultrasonic waves into the human body. When it encounters the interface in the body, it will reflect and refract, and it may be absorbed and attenuated in human tissues. Because the shape and structure of various tissues of the human body are different, the degree of reflection and refraction and the absorption of ultrasonic waves are different. The doctor distinguishes these characteristics by the characteristics of the waveform, curve, or image reflected by the instrument. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate people: Generally, there is no suitable for the crowd. Adverse reactions and risks No related complications or hazards.
