Should I Fast Before an EC Renal Scan?

If you’re scheduled for an EC Renal Scan, here’s some good news — fasting is usually not required. Most patients can eat, drink water, and take regular medications before the scan unless their doctor recommends otherwise.

Should I Fast Before an EC Renal Scan?

An EC Renal Scan is a nuclear medicine test that helps evaluate:

• How well each kidney is functioning

• How efficiently does urine flow from the kidneys

• Whether there is any blockage or slow drainage

• The overall health of your renal system

Because the scan focuses on kidney function using a small dose of radiotracer, fasting does not affect the results. However:

• If you have diabetes, high BP, or take diuretics, inform your doctor

• Some patients may be advised to drink extra water before the scan

• Follow any personalized instructions given by your radiologist or physician
