Hi, Thanks for using HCM. USG KUB means ultrasonography test of kidney, ureter and bladder, where the structure of these organs can be visualised up to an extent and dopler study tells us about the blood flow to these organs(Its renal and not venal). Serum protein electrophoresis to know what type of protein is excreted to diagnose the cause. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries or doubts and I shall be glad to help you out. Wish you good health. Take care.
