Nephroptosis – Symptoms, Causes, Treatment and More

How to Diagnose Nephroptosis

Symptoms of nephoroptosis are quite similar to many other conditions. Therefore, it is not easy to diagnose this disease. Your healthcare provider may need to perform a urine and blood test to look for signs of infection. Imaging techniques are the best option to diagnose nephoroptosis. For instance, a urogram will add dye to the bloodstream to take detailed pictures of the kidneys. It should be performed when you lie down and then stand up. If you have this condition, the image should display that the kidney is moving downward by around 5 centimeters from the original position. [7]
