Renal Vessel Ultrasound with Orthostatic Test
Renal vessel ultrasound with an orthostatic test is a highly informative diagnostic method used to evaluate renal blood flow, identify vascular abnormalities and detect early signs of hypertension-related renal disorders. The procedure is painless and safe, while providing detailed information about renal hemodynamics.
Our clinic uses advanced ultrasound technology operated by experienced specialists, ensuring highly accurate diagnostic results.
Why the Examination Is Performed
The examination provides valuable information about the renal vessels and their function:
- assessment of renal artery anatomy and developmental anomalies;
- measurement of blood flow velocity and hemodynamic parameters;
- detection of arterial stenosis;
- identification and evaluation of blood clots;
- diagnosis of vascular wall dissections and structural changes;
- evaluation of renal blood supply and its role in hypertension.
The orthostatic test helps identify changes in renal blood flow that occur when a patient moves from a lying to a standing position, providing additional diagnostic insights.
Indications for Renal Vessel Ultrasound with Orthostatic Test
- arterial hypertension, especially resistant or unstable forms;
- lower back pain;
- frequent urination;
- lower limb swelling;
- renal colic;
- suspected renal vascular disorders;
- endocrine diseases affecting renal function;
- late toxicosis during pregnancy;
- post-traumatic or post-operative conditions of the lumbar area.
How the Examination Is Performed
The examination consists of two stages. First, the doctor performs standard renal vessel ultrasound while the patient is lying down. After measuring blood flow parameters, the patient is asked to stand up, and the doctor repeats scanning and measurements.
The test takes 40–45 minutes, and results are provided immediately.
