About USG KUB

USG KUB (Ultrasonography of the Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder) is a non-invasive, painless diagnostic imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the urinary tract. Performed by a urologist or a trained radiologist, this ultrasound provides a real-time view of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder without radiation exposure. It is a primary tool for evaluating kidney size, shape, and position, detecting stones (renal calculi), identifying cysts or tumors, assessing bladder wall thickness and post-void residual urine, and diagnosing congenital abnormalities. The procedure is quick, safe, and highly effective for initial assessment of symptoms like flank pain, hematuria, or recurrent urinary tract infections.

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
