Understanding Ultrasound KUB in Kolkata

What is Ultrasound KUB in Kolkata?

The Ultrasound KUB (Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder) is a safe, noninvasive, painless imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of these vital organs. It helps diagnose conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, blockages, or other structural abnormalities, offering reliable insights into your urinary system. It is available at an affordable price in Kolkata with our partnered labs.

This test is often recommended if the individual experiences symptoms such as abdominal pain, blood in the urine, frequent urination, or difficulty in urination. It helps to look for changes in the bladder wall, kidney size, or structure. It is also used to detect stones in the urinary tract and evaluate the reasons for recurrent kidney infections. Additionally, it can help identify the cause of renal or pelvic pain.

Fasting is not required for Ultrasound KUB. Usual food and supplements can be taken unless otherwise specified by the doctor. A full bladder is required, so a pint of water should be consumed the hour before the scan. Wear comfortable clothing to allow easy access to the body parts that need to be scanned.
