My doctor suggested a kidney ultrasound after my lab results. 🖥️ What exactly does this scan show, and do I need to prepare?

Kidney ultrasound

What the scan checks

Feature	What it reveals
Kidney size 📏	Shrinkage can suggest chronic disease
Stones 💎	Often visible as bright spots
Cysts 🫧	Usually benign, sometimes followed
Obstruction 🚧	Dilated collecting system
Blood flow 🩸	Doppler shows circulation

Has anyone had one? It is totally painless! 😊
