Right kidney not visible in ultrasound

Hi good people,

I had an ultrasound recently and the doctor told me the right kidney wasn't visible due to stomach fullness. What does that mean?

Thanks in advance.

I apologize for the delay, we are in the midst of creating our community! It means that your stomach was in the way of getting a good look at your kidney through ultrasound. They may wish to redo the test when you haven't eaten in a few hours. Check with your healthcare provider about next steps!
