Ultrasound is a noninvasive, risk-free imaging test that can be used to screen for hydronephrosis (obstructions of the flow of urine), kidney stones that predispose to infection, and kidney abscesses.
The renal ultrasound may detect hydronephrosis, duplication anomalies, stones, or abnormalities of the bladder wall and should be obtained at the earliest convenient time.
