Frequently asked questions

Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly online. Your report can be shared with your GP or specialist.
What does a KUB ultrasound include?
It includes ultrasound assessment of both kidneys, the ureters where visible and the bladder. Post-void bladder assessment may be performed where indicated.
Can this scan detect kidney stones?
Ultrasound can detect many kidney stones and signs of obstruction, although very small stones or stones within the ureter may not always be visible. Further imaging may be advised if clinically needed.
Do I need a full bladder?
Yes, please attend with a comfortably full bladder unless you have been advised otherwise. This helps with bladder assessment and post-void measurements if needed.
Do I need to fast?
No fasting is usually required for a KUB ultrasound scan.
Will I get my results the same day?
Yes. Your sonographer will explain the main findings during your visit and provide a same-day written report.
Is ultrasound safe?
Yes. Ultrasound uses sound waves and does not use ionising radiation.
