Fasting and dietary instructions:

No special fasting needed. Avoid heavy fatty meals and alcohol the evening before as a general precaution.

Who should get DOPPLER Renal done in Ahmedabad?

Ahmedabad's summer heat , regularly exceeding 45°C in May and June across Maninagar, Nikol, Vastral, and Chandkheda , creates one of India's most severe dehydration environments. Gujarat records among the highest kidney stone prevalence nationally, and urologists trace this directly to chronic mild dehydration during extreme heat months. DOPPLER Renal is usually ordered as part of an imaging workup for unexplained high blood pressure or worsening kidney function. Doctors may request it when you have resistant hypertension, an abdominal bruit, sudden changes in urine, or after a kidney transplant.
