Blockage & drainage
Assessing whether a kidney is blocked and how well urine drains, often using diuretic renography.
Renal & Genitourinary Imaging
Renal & Genitourinary Imaging in Gurugram.
Kidney and urinary tract studies that show function, not just structure.
Renography, GFR measurement, DMSA scans and related studies to assess how well the kidneys work, how urine drains and whether there is scarring or reflux.

About Renal Imaging
Measuring how the kidneyswork and drain.
Ultrasound and CT show the structure of the kidneys, while nuclear medicine studies show function: how much each kidney contributes, how quickly urine drains and whether the kidney tissue is scarred. Many of these studies are also performed in children.
Function & drainage
Dynamic renography and differential function studies show how each kidney works and whether urine drains freely.
Scarring, reflux & flow
DMSA scans look for scarring, cystography looks for reflux of urine, and other studies assess blood flow and the testes.
Your doctor will advise which study is appropriate for your clinical question.

Before Your Visit
Preparing for your visit.Simple steps.
What to discuss with the team
Your referral & previous reports
Bring the referral, ultrasound or CT reports, and recent kidney function (creatinine) results where available.
Hydration
Many kidney studies need you to be well hydrated. The team will tell you how much to drink before you arrive.
Medicines
Tell the team about all medicines, especially diuretics and blood pressure medicines. Do not stop any unless your doctor advises.
Children
If your child is having a study, tell the team their age and any past kidney problems so they can explain what to expect. Some studies, such as cystography, involve a bladder catheter.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding & allergies
Let the team know before your appointment.
Guidance tailored to you
Preparation varies by study. Contact the team if you are unsure about any instruction.

FAQs
Common questionsabout kidney scans.
Answers to questions patients and parents often ask before a kidney study.
Still have questions?Speak to our team for guidance before your visit.
Being well hydrated helps the kidneys work normally during the study so the result reflects their true function. The team will tell you how much to drink.
A medicine that increases urine flow is given during the study to see whether urine drains freely from the kidney, which helps tell a blockage from a widened but draining system.
The team will explain each step in advance, including any injection or catheter involved. Tell them about your child’s age and medical history when you book.
The time varies by study. The team will tell you what to expect when arranging your appointment.
Nuclear medicine studies use a small amount of radioactivity and the team follows radiation safety practices. Tell the team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you might be.
Your referring doctor will usually discuss the findings with you. Contact the team about when your report will be available.
