Kidney Infection – Diagnosis & Treatment

Ultrasound

An ultrasound is a noninvasive technique to diagnose a kidney infection. It involves the use of a device to release wavelengths and generate detailed images of structures inside your urinary tract. It is performed by a professional technician and the results should be interpreted by a doctor who specializes in medical images, also known as a radiologist. An ultrasound would show any obstruction in your urinary tract which might lead to the occurrence of kidney infections. [2]
