Abdominal ultrasound- what can this find out

WebMD has a link for this but according to WebMD, you are supposed to fast and drink in the morning if you want to examine kidneys and eat a fat-free meal the night before for liver examination well I was directed to only fast and drink nothing in morning before the taste- I probably didn't eat fat  in the night before but I was wondering what this examination of the abdomen can discover- there was only a technician conducting the test who couldn't answer any questions and the test application didn't have any details. I breathed in and held a lot of times and did it on my back and sometimes on my sides.  It will take a month to get the results- no idea what it will include. What can an abdominal examination of liver and kidneys and other areas conducted this way find out?
