How to Prepare for Your Scan

To ensure optimal visualisation:

Drink 500–700 ml of water 1 hour before your appointment

Aim to arrive with a comfortably full bladder

Avoid emptying your bladder unless uncomfortable

Continue taking regular medication with water as normal

A full bladder improves assessment of the bladder and lower urinary tract.

When Full Bladder Preparation May Not Be Possible
If you have difficulty filling your bladder (e.g., catheter, urinary retention, severe discomfort), please inform us in advance so we can adapt the examination.

How This Scan Is Performed
A transabdominal renal ultrasound is performed using the probe across the abdomen and flanks. This allows clear assessment of the kidneys, ureters and bladder.

A post‑void bladder volume may be measured to assess urinary retention.

This scan is non‑invasive, painless and safe.
