What Does Abdominal Ultrasound Assess?

Liver

  • Fatty liver (hepatic steatosis) — grading
  • Liver cysts, haemangiomas and focal lesions
  • Cirrhosis and portal hypertension
  • Liver size and echogenicity

Gallbladder & Bile Ducts

  • Gallstones — size, number, complications
  • Cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation)
  • Gallbladder polyps
  • Bile duct dilation (common bile duct)

Kidneys

  • Kidney stones (renal calculi)
  • Hydronephrosis (blocked kidney)
  • Kidney cysts and tumours
  • Chronic kidney disease assessment

Pancreas, Spleen & Other

  • Pancreatic cysts, masses
  • Spleen size and lesions
  • Aortic aneurysm screening
  • Free fluid (ascites)
  • Lymph node assessment

Preparation for Abdominal Ultrasound

  • Fast for 4–6 hours before your scan — this is essential for clear gallbladder images
  • You may drink plain water
  • For kidney/bladder assessment: have a full bladder (drink 3–4 glasses of water 1 hour before)
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing
  • Scan duration: 20–30 minutes

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — fasting for 4–6 hours is required before your abdominal ultrasound. This ensures the gallbladder is full and clearly visible. Gallstones can be missed if the gallbladder has contracted after eating. Plain water is fine to drink.
Yes. Ultrasound detects most kidney stones, especially larger stones. However, small stones in the ureter (the tube between kidney and bladder) may be missed on ultrasound — a CT KUB may be recommended for comprehensive stone assessment.
Yes. Ultrasound is the most commonly used test for fatty liver — it shows the liver's echogenicity and can grade fatty changes. For more detailed quantification, advanced techniques like elastography may be recommended.
Abdominal ultrasound reports are typically delivered same day, personally reviewed and signed by our consultant radiologists.
