Why book X-Ray KUB Test?
An ultrasound of the kidneys, urethra, and bladder is a common medical procedure conducted to determine the cause of the discomfort, especially in the abdominal region. It may be recommended by your doctor to have an X-Ray KUB if a person experiences abdominal pain, backache, stomach pain or burning while urinating, and so on.
Before any other diagnostic procedures, a KUB X-ray may be taken to evaluate the urinary tract. A KUB X-ray can provide basic information about the size, shape, and position of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder and find possible deformities.
Such conditions require urgent medical assistance; therefore, it is necessary to consult your health expert in case you’re going through any apparent symptoms. You can book the X-Ray through MFine at reasonable prices.
