About Renal Doppler

A Renal Doppler ultrasound is a specialized, non-invasive imaging procedure performed by a nephrologist to evaluate the blood flow to and within the kidneys. Using high-frequency sound waves, it creates detailed images of the renal arteries and veins, measuring the speed and direction of blood flow. This test is crucial for diagnosing conditions like renal artery stenosis (narrowing), assessing kidney function in hypertension, evaluating for blood clots, and monitoring kidney transplants. It provides vital information without radiation exposure, helping your doctor plan the most effective treatment for kidney-related vascular issues.

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.
