FAQs

What is IVP (Non-Ionic Contrast)?

IVP (Intravenous Pyelography) with Non-Ionic Contrast is a contrast-enhanced X-ray examination of the kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder. A non-ionic iodinated contrast agent is injected into a vein, and X-ray images are taken as the contrast passes through the urinary system.

Why is IVP (Non-Ionic Contrast) performed?

This examination is commonly performed to evaluate kidney stones, ureteric stones, blood in the urine (hematuria), urinary tract obstruction, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), congenital urinary tract abnormalities, hydronephrosis, urinary tract tumors, and other disorders affecting the urinary system.

Which organs are examined during the test?

The examination evaluates the kidneys, renal collecting systems, ureters, and urinary bladder, helping doctors assess both the structure and function of the urinary tract.

Can IVP detect kidney or ureteric stones?

Yes. IVP can help identify kidney stones and ureteric stones, particularly those causing obstruction or affecting urine flow.

Can IVP detect urinary tract obstruction?

Yes. It can identify blockages or narrowing in the urinary tract and demonstrate how well urine drains from the kidneys to the bladder.
