Intravenous pyelography (IVP)

A venous angiography of the renal pelvis was performed by X-ray examination. Intravenous pyelography is an intravenous injection of contrast agent, the lower abdomen is pressurized, and the film is examined 10 to 20 minutes later. Intravenous pyelography can understand the relationship between the kidney, the location of the ureter, the secretory function of the kidney, and the retroperitoneal lesions and the urinary organs. Kidney, ureter and bladder tuberculosis, tumors, etc. Unexplained hematuria. Urinary calculi, determine the location of the stone, and see if there are negative stones.

Clinical significance Intravenous pyelography can understand the location of the kidney, ureter, the secretory function of the kidney, the relationship between retroperitoneal lesions and urinary organs. Precautions 1. Before taking the examination, take a plain film of the abdomen for reference. If kidney function damage is suspected, renal function should be measured first. 2. Check the pre-dinner for half-flow food, and fast after dinner until the angiography. 3.

First look at the abdomen and observe if there is any gas or fecal mass in the bowel for further treatment. 4. Iodine allergy test. Drain the urine. 5. Commonly used contrast agent 60% diatrizoate.
