What is a urinary system ultrasound examination?
A urinary system ultrasound (sonography) is a safe and accurate diagnostic method that assesses the condition of the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder. The examination makes it possible to detect stones, inflammatory processes and other changes in a timely manner.
Radiologist Lana Ezieshvili performs detailed urinary system ultrasound with modern equipment and provides accurate, reliable diagnostics.
What does the examination assess?
- the size, shape and structure of the kidneys;
- kidney stones (nephrolithiasis);
- dilation of the renal pelvis;
- cysts and lesions;
- the condition of the bladder and how completely it empties;
- inflammatory changes.
When should the examination be performed?
Urinary system ultrasound is recommended when:
- there is pain in the lower back or side;
- urination is painful or frequent;
- there are traces of blood or changes in the urine;
- urine or kidney test results are poor;
- there is a suspicion of a kidney stone.
In such cases Lana Ezieshvili assesses the urinary system in detail and helps the urologist or nephrologist to plan treatment.
How should you prepare?
For better visibility of the bladder and kidneys, it is advisable to have the examination with a full bladder — drinking 0.5–1 liter of water before the procedure is recommended. The exact preparation instructions will be provided by radiologist Lana Ezieshvili.
