• What is an MRI of the Renal Angiography scan?

An MRI of renal angiography is a specialized imaging procedure that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create detailed images of the blood vessels in and around the kidneys. This non-invasive technique helps assess the structure, function, and blood flow within the renal arteries without the need for invasive procedures. Often enhanced with a contrast agent like gadolinium, it is used to diagnose conditions such as renal artery stenosis, aneurysms, or blockages. Unlike traditional angiography, it avoids the use of ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for many patients.

Why is it Done?

An MRI of the Renal Angiography is done for various reasons:

1. To evaluate blood flow to and from the kidneys.
2. To detect narrowing or blockages in the renal arteries.
3. To diagnose conditions like renal artery stenosis or aneurysms.
4. To assess kidney function in relation to vascular health.
5. To guide treatment planning for kidney-related vascular disorders.

• How do you prepare for an MRI of renal angiography?

Below are the following preparations required for an MRI of the Renal Angiography:

1. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding food and drink restrictions before the scan.
2. Inform the medical team of any allergies, especially to contrast agents.
3. Remove all metal objects, including jewelry and clothing, with metallic components.
4. Notify your doctor if you have any implants, pacemakers, or other medical devices.
5. Stay hydrated and discuss any pre-existing conditions, such as kidney problems, with your doctor.

What is the Procedure for an MRI of the Renal Angiography?

The procedure for an MRI of the Renal Angiography generally involves the following steps:

1. You will lie on the MRI table, which slides into the MRI scanner.
2. A contrast agent, usually gadolinium, may be injected into a vein to enhance image clarity.
3. The scanner creates a magnetic field and uses radio waves to capture detailed images of the renal blood vessels.
4. You will need to remain still and may be asked to hold your breath briefly during image capture.
5. The procedure typically lasts 30-60 minutes, after which a radiologist reviews the images.

What is the Aftercare for an MRI of the Renal Angiography?

1. Drink plenty of water to help flush out the contrast agent if it is used.
2. Resume normal activities unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
3. Monitor for any signs of allergic reactions, such as rash or swelling, and report them immediately.
4. Follow up with your doctor to discuss the results of the scan.
5. Inform your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms, such as dizziness or kidney discomfort.
