What to expect on test day in 60 seconds

1. Check-in at reception (5 min)
2. Change into a gown if required (2 min)
3. Lie on the scan table; warm gel applied (1 min)
4. Transducer glides across abdomen capturing images (15–20 min)
5. Wipe off gel, get dressed, receive provisional findings (2 min)

Types of Abdomen Doppler Ultrasound Scan

• Color Doppler: Visual overview of vessel direction and turbulence.
• Spectral Doppler: Numerical speed and resistance patterns.
• Power Doppler: Higher sensitivity for very slow or small-volume flow—ideal for tiny renal vessels.

• Evaluate abdominal pain or swelling of unknown cause
• Monitor liver cirrhosis and varices
• Assess kidney transplant perfusion and early rejection signs
• Detect narrowing of renal or mesenteric arteries before surgery

Symptoms that trigger referral

• Unexplained abdominal pain or swelling
• Sudden weight loss or jaundice
• Persistent nausea after fatty meals
• High blood pressure that’s hard to control

Age groups & risk profiles

• Adults 40+ with diabetes or hypertension
• Children with inherited liver disorders
• Pregnant women with suspected portal hypertension
• Post-kidney-transplant patients for routine graft monitoring

Benefits of Taking the Abdomen Doppler Ultrasound Scan

• Non-invasive procedure—no needles, no contrast
• No sedation required—drive home immediately
• Real-time blood-flow imaging—results shared with you on the spot

Illnesses Diagnosed with Abdomen Doppler Ultrasound Scan

• Portal hypertension—high pressure in liver veins
• Renal artery stenosis—narrowing that causes resistant hypertension
• Budd-Chiari syndrome—blocked hepatic veins
• Hepatic artery thrombosis—post-transplant emergency
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm with turbulent flow

Fasting instructions (6–8 hrs)

• Only water allowed; skip breakfast for morning slots.
• Continue essential medicines with a small sip of water.

Medication guidelines

• Avoid gas-forming tablets the night before.
• If on anticoagulants, bring your latest INR/PT reports.

Pre-requisites Abdomen Doppler Ultrasound Scan

• Valid doctor prescription (hard copy or digital)
• Recent blood reports if on anticoagulants or have clotting disorders
• Comfortable, two-piece clothing recommended

Best Time to Take the Abdomen Doppler Ultrasound Scan

• Morning slots after overnight fast give the clearest images.
• Avoid booking immediately after lunch or carbonated drinks.

Eligibility

• Adults & children—no lower age limit
• Pregnancy-safe imaging—no radiation, no contrast
• Patients with implanted devices (e.g., insulin pumps) can undergo scan; just inform staff beforehand.

Procedure for Taking an Abdomen Doppler Ultrasound Scan

1. Check-in & paperwork—verify ID, consent and fasting status.
2. Positioning—lie flat on the scan table, abdomen exposed.
3. Gel application & transducer movement—cool, water-based gel improves sound transmission; gentle pressure captures images and Doppler waveforms.
4. Real-time review—sonographer explains key findings before you leave.
5. Clean-up & digital report—receive link to download images and report.

Caution Before Taking the Test

• Inform about implanted devices—pacemakers, pumps or metal clips.
• Mention contrast allergy history—though none is used, it helps us note your overall allergy profile.
