Renal or Kidney Scan
Trans abdominal ultrasound scan to assess the bladder and kidneys
These scans are to assess your bladder and kidneys. For men we also image the prostate gland but provide a measurement only, not an assessment for prostate cancer. These scans are done for many reasons e.g. pain in the back or pelvis, kidney stones, blood in the urine, incontinence, and bladder infections.
Duration
20min
Price
$200.00
$220 for female pelvis and renal scan.
Preparation
We require you to come with a full bladder. Please empty your bladder one hour before your appointment, and then drink 2 large glasses of water. DO NOT empty your bladder before your scan.
Normal eating is allowed and please take normal medications.
What to expect
The sonographer will discuss the results with you. These results will be with your referrer in 1 day. If urgent the sonographer will phone your referrer.
