What does a kidney ultrasound show?

When I got mine done, the scan report clearly showed a 6mm stone sitting in my left kidney and some swelling. I'm no expert, but it was a very quick and painless stomach scan. The doctor will be able to explain the exact findings once you show them the report.

Honestly, I fell asleep during my early morning scan because they just rub that cold gel on your belly and move a probe around. It basically shows the doctor if your kidneys are healthy, swollen, or if you have stones. Just make sure you drink lots of water beforehand like they ask, otherwise they'll make you wait forever.

Look, it is a very simple scan that uses sound waves to check if your kidneys are the right size and if there's any blockage, cyst, or stone. There is absolutely no pain or radiation involved. Just get the scan done from a good lab and show it to your urologist.

I tried so many home remedies for my side pain before finally getting a kidney ultrasound. The scan clearly showed the exact location of a small stone that was causing all the trouble. It's a very practical and easy test that helps you stop guessing and start the right treatment.
