Renal Artery Duplex
We will perform a detailed scan of renal arteries to evaluate the vessels that supply blood to the kidneys
Common examples for having this ultrasound scan are:
-
Look for blockages or narrowing of the renal arteries which may contribute to hypertension or renal dysfunction.
-
Monitor existing renal artery disease, or follow-up after surgical intervention.
We will provide a Radiologist report within 24 hours.
