This examination provides images of your kidney
transplant. The scan is safe and painless; there is no radiation
involved.
When you were referred by your physician for a radiological exam, you
may have been told about certain instructions to be done prior to the
exam, or when you were scheduling your appointment, the scheduler should
have informed you about the preparations that should be done prior to
your exam. If you did not or if you want a recheck, you can refer to the
information listed below.
Keep in
mind that you may have been given some additional or different
instructions, based on your own particular circumstances. If you have
any questions, please call our hotline 16171 or (202) 3336-3310 (Mohandeseen),
(202) 2417 5556 (Heliopolis) or (202) 2528 4888 (Maadi) to speak with a
radiologist if you have any questions. It is best to call between 10
a.m. and 10 p.m., Saturday through Thursday.

The procedure usually
takes approximately 45 minutes. Test time may vary due to specific
physician requests.
After you are in the ultrasound examination room, you will be asked to
change into a gown and provide us with a brief history.
You will then be placed on a stretcher. In order to obtain quality
images, we will need to place a water-based gel on your abdomen. A
plastic device called a transducer will be placed over the abdominal
area and moved back and forth to obtain the images necessary to answer
your physician's questions.
