Renal Angiogram Cost in India

The cost of a renal angiogram in India typically ranges from $400 to $1,200 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

A renal angiogram uses X-rays and contrast dye to show the arteries that supply the kidneys. The cost depends on:

• Type: catheter angiogram, CT angiogram or MR angiogram.
• Treatment during the test: angioplasty or a stent.
• Overnight stay
• Hospital

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust explains it checks for narrowing or blockage of the kidney arteries. If narrowing is found, angioplasty or a stent may be done at the same time. This aims to help kidney function or blood pressure control when medicines are not enough.

It is done under local anaesthetic, usually through an artery in the groin. A thin tube is passed to the kidney arteries and dye is injected. The NHS leaflet says you stay in bed for 1 to 2 hours afterwards, and an overnight stay is common.

The NHS leaflet lists bruising, a lump of blood under the skin, and, rarely, a reaction to the dye, which can affect kidney function. Tell staff about kidney problems, diabetes, allergies and blood thinners before the test.
