Today, my mom went with me to the hospital for my KUB ultrasound (kidney, ureters, urinary bladder). Though I do not have severe pain anymore in my left side, I just want to have a check with my kidneys. I want to know if I have 2 because my mom only one kidney is functioning. Her other kidney is very small according to the doctor it is inborn. I am glad every thing was normal. Thank you Lord. I was so relieved.
This is my result : Left Kidney measures 8.8 x 4.8 x 1.4 cm, Right kidney measures 8.7 x 4.1 x 1.6cm. there is no significant disparity in the sizes, shapes and locations of both kidneys. No evident mass, calculus nor any abnormality in the scans obtained. Both ureters were not visualized (not significantly dilated). There is a good filling of the urinary bladder, showing regular contours and smooth walls with no intraluminal echoes.
IMPRESSION : Normal study
