Ultrasound Examination of the Urinary System (Kidneys, Bladder) (Echography)

Ultrasound Examination of the Urinary System – is a safe, non-invasive, and informative imaging test that allows the evaluation of the structure of the main urinary system organs and possible changes.

During the examination, ultrasound evaluates:

• kidneys size, shape, and position,
• kidney parenchyma structure,
• pelvic and calyceal system,
• stones, cysts, or other structural changes,
• bladder walls and contents,
• residual urine volume (if needed).

This test helps identify structural and functional changes of the urinary system, evaluate the causes of lumbar or abdominal pain, urination disorders, altered laboratory indicators, and monitor the course or treatment effectiveness of already diagnosed conditions.

What is important to know?

• The test is painless and safe, without using ionizing radiation.
• Before the test, it is usually recommended to have a moderately filled bladder (exact information is provided during registration).
• Duration – about 20–30 minutes.
• Test results are discussed immediately, providing clear conclusions and, if necessary, further recommendations.

The examination is intended for those who want to comprehensively and clearly evaluate the condition of the kidneys and bladder, timely notice possible changes, and make informed decisions about their health.
