Abdominal Ultrasound (Comprehensive) + Kidneys
Abdominal and kidney ultrasound is a comprehensive examination that evaluates the internal organs and urinary system.
During the examination, the physician assesses the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys — their size, shape, tissue structure, and possible changes. The examination helps detect inflammatory processes, stones, cysts, congenital features, growths, and other pathologies.
The method is safe, painless, and uses no radiation. The procedure is performed through the anterior abdominal wall using an ultrasound probe and takes approximately 20 minutes.
