Common Reasons for an Abdomen Ultrasound:
Abdominal Pain: Persistent or severe pain in the abdomen can be caused by issues such as gallstones, liver disease, or kidney stones. An ultrasound can help pinpoint the exact cause of the pain, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Abnormal Liver Function Tests: If your liver function tests show abnormal results, an ultrasound can help determine the underlying cause. Conditions like fatty liver disease, hepatitis, or liver tumors can be identified through this imaging technique.
Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes, often related to liver or gallbladder problems, can be investigated with an abdomen ultrasound. It helps in identifying obstructions or diseases affecting the bile ducts.
Kidney Stones: To detect the presence and size of stones in the kidneys or bladder, an abdomen ultrasound is a non-invasive method that can provide clear images and aid in treatment planning.
Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, which can cause severe abdominal pain and digestive issues, can be accurately diagnosed using an ultrasound scan.
Ascites: Accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, often related to liver disease or heart failure, can be assessed through an abdomen ultrasound to understand the extent and cause of the condition.
At London Private Ultrasound, our expert radiologists use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precise imaging and accurate diagnosis. The procedure is quick and typically completed within 30 minutes, allowing you to get timely answers and appropriate medical care.
