A member asked:
What is really examined during a renal ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: A renal ultrasound allows the radiologist to evaluate both kidneys and look for stones, hydronephrosis (enlargment of the collecting system due to blockage), thinning and color of the outer part of the kidneys, cysts, and masses.
