The ultrasound of kidneys is the simplest, safest and quickest method of assessing the condition and functioning of kidneys of the child without causing any pain and discomfort to him. The examination can be performed from the first days of life, as the procedure is safe for children of any age.
The ultrasound of kidneys is the element of screening ultrasound of children at the age of 1 – 1.5 months, and is performed for excluding pathologies of the development of kidneys.
The pediatrician or pediatric urologist usually orders the examination due to the onset of the following symptoms:
The ultrasound of kidneys allows the diagnostician to determine the whole range of nephrological diseases in the child:
The ultrasound examination is performed repeatedly (for example, for tracking the effectiveness of treatment) for children of any age, as it is the absolutely safe method of treatment, which does not cause the harmful influence on the children’s organism.
The ultrasound examination can be performed for the child independently as well as within the examination of the urinary system, which allows immediately assessing the condition of kidneys, bladder and ureters.
In any case, the examination is painless, is performed quickly and does not cause unpleasant feelings to the child. While performing the ultrasound, the child can lie on the stomach, back or side – the position depends on which projections of the organ the doctor needs at the moment. The doctor can also ask the child to stand up – the examination in such position allows excluding the floating kidney (nephroptosis).
During the ultrasound examination, the doctor fixes some parameters, based on which he draws up a report on the presence or absence of the signs of kidney diseases on the ultrasound image. Then, the consulting doctor (pediatrician or pediatric urologist) checks the ultrasound results, establishes diagnosis and orders treatment based on them.
If you are planning the ultrasound of just kidneys, you do not need the special preparation.
However, the doctors often order the ultrasound of kidneys in conjunction with the examination of the bladder or the whole urinary system. Such examinations should be performed with the full bladder.
For that, you just need to drink 200 – 800 milliliters of water or other non-sparkling fluid (amount depends on the age of the child) 30-60 minutes before the examination. If the ultrasound of kidneys is performed for a nursing baby, you just need to feed him 20 minutes before the beginning of the ultrasound examination.
