About CT Scan Renal

A CT Scan Renal, often ordered by a Nephrologist, is a specialized, non-invasive imaging procedure that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the kidneys, ureters, and surrounding structures. It provides critical information about kidney size, shape, position, and internal anatomy, helping to detect abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, stones, infections, or blockages. This high-resolution scan is invaluable for diagnosing complex kidney diseases, planning treatments, and monitoring disease progression. It is a quick, painless test that offers superior detail compared to standard X-rays, making it a cornerstone of modern renal diagnostics.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Evaluation of suspected kidney stones (nephrolithiasis).
  • Diagnosis and staging of kidney tumors or cancers.
  • Investigation of complex kidney infections (pyelonephritis) or abscesses.
  • Assessment of congenital kidney abnormalities or cystic diseases (e.g., polycystic kidney disease).
  • Evaluation of kidney injury or trauma.
  • Planning for kidney surgery or biopsy.
  • Monitoring known kidney conditions or post-treatment follow-up.
  • Identifying causes of unexplained kidney failure or hypertension.

How to prepare

  • Fasting may be required for 4-6 hours before the scan if contrast dye is to be used.
  • Inform your doctor and the technician about all medications, allergies (especially to iodine or contrast dye), and any history of kidney problems.
  • Disclose if you are pregnant or suspect you might be.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal zippers or buttons; you may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
  • Remove all jewelry, eyeglasses, dentures, and hearing aids before the scan.
  • For some scans, you may be asked to drink a special oral contrast solution beforehand to outline the digestive tract.

Risks & possible complications

  • Exposure to a low dose of ionizing radiation.
  • Allergic reaction to iodine-based contrast dye, ranging from mild itching to severe anaphylaxis.

  • Minor discomfort or a warm sensation if contrast is injected.
  • Extremely rare risk of contrast extravasation (leakage from the IV into surrounding tissue).

  • Monitor the injection site for any signs of redness, swelling, or pain.
  • Report any delayed allergic reactions, such as rash or difficulty breathing, to your doctor promptly.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sukanya was different. She actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. She explained it to me in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on her notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and finally had a path forward.
