Kidney and bladder ultrasounds offer a clear view of your urinary system to help evaluate pain, detect blockages, and monitor chronic conditions. At our Metairie imaging center, each scan is performed by an experienced technologist and interpreted by a radiologist for fast, accurate results.
Kidney and Bladder Ultrasounds Near You
This exam uses ultrasound technology to produce real-time images of your kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures. It helps your provider evaluate how well your kidneys drain urine, whether your bladder empties fully, and whether structural issues could be contributing to symptoms or abnormal labs.
Scans are performed on-site using high-resolution equipment. Results are reviewed by a radiologist and sent directly to your provider to support timely care decisions.

When You May Need One
Your provider may recommend this exam to investigate symptoms or monitor an existing diagnosis. Common reasons include:
-
Pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen
-
Blood in the urine
-
Changes in urinary frequency or flow
-
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
-
Kidney swelling or fluid retention
-
Elevated creatinine or known kidney disease
An ultrasound is often used as a first step to help clarify the cause and guide next steps.
What These Scans Can Show
Our kidney and bladder ultrasounds can help detect:
-
Kidney stones: Their size, location, and whether they’re causing blockage
-
Cysts or solid masses: In the kidneys or bladder, for further evaluation
-
Hydronephrosis: Swelling caused by urine backup
-
Bladder stones: Often associated with infection or incomplete emptying
-
Structural changes: May contribute to UTIs, pain, or other symptoms
These images give your provider a functional view of your urinary system, safely and without exposure to radiation.
