Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having back pain and abdominal pain(just when pushed on). I went to the doctor he ordered a ct abd and pelvis? the results said "question mesenteric adenopathy. Renal protocal CT imatging with contrast might be useful for further evaluation of the urinary tract system. My doctors nurse said they scheduled me another CT. I guess I am just wondering why i would need to do another one/ should i just wait and see if the pain goes away. I had the same type of pain 3 months ago on the left side as well. What would be the best route to go?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidate history. You had a pain in the back as well as abdominal. CT shows mesenteric lymph nodes and they should be investigated as to why have they are enlarged, whether due to cancer or benign. When we say ''Renal Protocol'' means giving the contrast dye in sufficient quantity so that the kidneys, ureters and bladder be well studies. I think you should go for another scan and should not really wait. Go for another contrast enhanced CT,This will help to rule out cancer, as is suspected , it looks.
