The prep for a renal ultrasound is nothing to eat or drink after midnight. The exception is that you must have completed drinking approximately 32 oz. (or have a completely full bladder) of water/clear liquids by 1 hour prior to your test time. You should start drinking about 1 1/2 hours before the procedure and finish drinking by 1 hour prior. Once you have started drinking the fluids, do not use the bathroom until after your test.

Only the fact, that your bladder has to be VERY full for the exam (otherwise the technician is not able to see everything), will cause you some pressure in your bladder, espescially when they run over your lower belly ;-)
Dont be afraid! Its quickly over and you will feel much better, once you can empty yourself :)
