How to prepare for an examination of the abdominal organs with a load
The research is carried out in the morning in several stages. The first OCP ultrasound is performed on an empty stomach, after which the patient is recommended to have breakfast. This will allow to "load" the examined organ. As a load, you can use the following options for breakfast: two chicken yolks, or you can drink 2 tablets of "Hofitol". The doctor conducts a repeat examination after 30 minutes, after which he conducts an examination with an interval of 15 minutes 2 more times to check the organ and complete the diagnosis.
