Kidney and Adrenal Gland Ultrasound
Kidney and adrenal gland ultrasound is a safe and informative examination that assesses the condition, size, shape, and tissue structure of the kidneys and adrenal glands, and detects possible changes.
During the examination, the physician evaluates:
- size and shape of the kidneys and adrenal glands
- tissue structure and uniformity
- presence of stones, cysts, tumor-like or inflammatory changes
- blood flow and functional features (when necessary).
The examination helps diagnose kidney, adrenal gland, and urinary system conditions at an early stage, monitor treatment, and detect congenital or acquired pathologies.
The procedure is performed through the anterior and lateral abdominal walls. It is painless, safe, and takes 15–20 minutes
Location: Almaty, Aksai-5 district, 12A
