Why would sonographer ask if i drank water when viewing my kidney and then ask me to empty my bladder and view it again?

Ultrasound: See: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/test_procedures/urology/kidney_ultrasound_92,P07709/ It will provide more views/ information when the bladder is viewed both full and empty. Please see the above article by Johns Hopkins.
