Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor.USG PUB means ultrasonography test of kidney, ureter and bladder, where the structure of these organs can be visualized up to an extent and Doppler study tells us about the blood flow to these organs(It's 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. Regards
