Computerized tomography (CT scan) and ultrasound helps doctors see patients’ kidneys. “Computerized tomography unites x-ray images and computer processing creating cross sectional pictures of soft tissue inside of a patients’ body” (Yarlaggada, 2006). A computerized tomography can examine a patient who has internal injuries. Kidney disease can often be detected using ultrasound which is a noninvasive kind of image testing. Taking a small piece of kidney tissue and testing it can also be used to diagnose acute renal failure. If necessary a patients’ doctor can recommend the patient a biopsy, “a procedure that requires a small piece of the patients’ kidney tissue to be removed for lab testing. The patients’ doctor will have to insert a small thin needle through the patients skin going into the kidney” (Rosdahl, C. (2011).
