Renal Color Doppler - Book Test at Low Cost

What is Renal Doppler ultrasound?

Humans have one pair of kidneys, located one on each side in the retroperitoneal space. Kidneys are the major excretory organ responsible for the removal of waste substances and toxins out from the body through urine. Kidneys together with paired ureters, urinary bladder and the urethra form the urinary system of the human body.

Renal doppler ultrasound also known as renal color doppler scan or renal doppler scan is a diagnostic tool that is used for the assessment and evaluation of your kidneys. It uses sound waves and a computer to delineate the anatomical details of the kidneys, renovascular system, normal variants and pathological conditions affecting the kidneys and renal blood vessels.

It is a non-invasive, painless, rapid and safe procedure useful in the evaluation of real time parameters of blood including blood flow, velocity of blood, blood flow pattern and patency of blood vessels and is thus considered as a superior technique as compared to the conventional ultrasound imaging.

5. Then a hand-held transducer/probe will be moved over the flank region which sends high frequency sound waves to the body parts. These sound waves are reflected by the moving blood cells such RBCs and are recorded by the ultrasound machine and converted into images or graphs of different colors depicting the blood flow pattern, direction and speed of blood flow in real time. These images will be interpreted to assess your condition.
6. At the end of scan, tissue paper will be provided to clean the gel/lubricant from the flank surface.
