Renal perfusion scintigraphy is a diagnostic nuclear medicine procedure used to assess renal perfusion and is of particular importance in monitoring the function of transplanted kidneys. To determine renal perfusion, a radiopharmaceutical (radiolabeled substance) is administered intravenously (into the vein) to the patient, allowing precise imaging of renal perfusion. Indications (areas of application) Kidney transplantation … Renal Perfusion Scintigraphy
Static renal scintigraphy (synonym: DMSA scintigraphy) is a diagnostic procedure in nuclear medicine that is particularly important in assessing the function of the renal parenchyma after renal infarction. The procedure is a well-established method in nuclear medicine diagnostics, as it allows assessment of the location, size and function of both kidneys. The static of renal … Renal Scintigraphy
Renal ultrasonography (synonyms: ultrasound of the kidneys; renal ultrasound) is an important diagnostic procedure in internal medicine, particularly nephrology (kidney medicine), which can be used for real-time imaging of the kidneys to identify and, if necessary, classify pathologic processes of the kidneys. Renal sonography is an exclusively non-invasive procedure that poses no risk to either … Renal Ultrasound (Renal Sonography)
Residual urine determination by ultrasound (synonym: ultrasound-assisted residual urine determination; sonographic residual urine determination) is a diagnostic procedure in urology that can be used when urinary retention (urinary retention) in the bladder is suspected. In addition to its use as a routine measure in cases of suspected urinary retention, the diagnostic procedure plays a crucial … Residual Urine Determination by Ultrasound
The performance of a sonographic examination (ultrasound examination) of the renal arteries represents an important diagnostic procedure in the evaluation and differentiation of primary essential hypertension from secondary hypertension (primary hypertension – hypertension as an initial disease; secondary hypertension – hypertension as a secondary or secondary disease in the presence of an initial disease). This … Ultrasound of Renal Arteries
Pelvic floor EMG (synonym: pelvic floor electromyography) is a diagnostic procedure used in urology and proctology to detect micturition disorders caused by nerves or muscle disorders.Micturition describes the process of urination. With the help of electromyography, it is possible to quantify and subsequently assess the electrical impulses of the pelvic floor muscles. As a rule, … Pelvic Floor Electromyography
Cystometry (synonym: cystomanometry) refers to a urological examination method that measures the pressure and capacity of the urinary bladder. It is one of the urodynamic examinations. The normal capacity of the urinary bladder is between 250 to 750 ml. Urinary bladder pressure is normally 10 cm H2O in women (♀) and 20 cm H2O in … Bladder Pressure Measurement (Cystometry)
Urethrocystoscopy (urethrocystoscopy) is an endoscopy of the urethra and bladder. Indications (areas of application) Hematuria – blood in the urine Urinary incontinence – inability to hold urine. Urethral stenosis (narrowing of the urethra). Urinary bladder diverticula – protrusions of the urinary bladder wall. Tumors in the area of the urinary bladder and urethra. Changes in … Urethroscopy of the Bladder (Urethrocystoscopy)
Uroflowmetry is a procedure for the objective determination of bladder emptying disorders. Among other things, it determines the maximum urine flow (Qmax) and produces a urine flow curve. Normally, the bladder holds about 300-400 ml of urine. In total, a healthy adult excretes about 1,500 ml of urine daily. Bladder voiding dysfunction can occur in … Urine Flow Measurement (Uroflowmetry)
