Do you need an empty stomach for an ultrasound of a kidney cyst?

Patients with kidney cysts do not need to fast before ultrasound examination, but it is also not recommended to eat too much, so as not to cause abdominal distension.
Kidneys are located on both sides of the dorsal spine of the human body, ultrasound examination of kidneys is mainly from the back or side of the abdomen, after eating food into the stomach, generally will not affect the examination of renal cysts. Kidney cysts will appear as round-like masses with relatively neat edges under ultrasound examination. Ultrasound examination of renal cysts is relatively accurate.
In addition, for abdominal ultrasound (liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen), fasting is required on the day of the examination, and easy-to-digest food should be eaten on the day before the examination.
Patients with renal cysts should go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment under the guidance of professional physicians.
