Diabetes Ultrasound Assessment Package
£600
The ultrasound scan package for diabetes includes assessments of the lower extremities for peripheral arterial disease, carotid arteries for atherosclerosis, kidneys for structural abnormalities and renal blood flow, Kidney function blood test and, GP consultation.
Vascular Assessment:
Lower Extremities: Color Doppler imaging to evaluate blood flow in the lower extremities and assess for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Reduced blood flow, stenotic lesions, or signs of PAD were evaluated.
Carotid Arteries: Color Doppler imaging to assess the carotid arteries for atherosclerosis or stenosis. These conditions can increase the risk of stroke, which is elevated in individuals with diabetes.
Kidney Evaluation:
Renal Size and Structure: B-mode ultrasound imaging to assess the size, shape, and echotexture of the kidneys. Structural abnormalities, such as cysts or tumors.
Renal Arteries and Veins: Color and spectral Doppler imaging to assess renal blood flow and detect any abnormalities, including renal artery stenosis or venous thrombosis. Diabetic nephropathy, a common complication of diabetes, can affect renal blood flow.
