Intravenous pyelography, also known as intravenous urography, is a procedure to X-ray the urinary system.
The authors prefer computed tomography without contrast when urolithiasis is suspected, and computed tomographic urography when stone disease is clinically unlikely.
Investigations of the upper urinary tract, such as intravenous urography and ultrasonography, may be appropriate for referred renal pain.
If all these investigations were negative, intravenous urography, cystoscopy, and renal computed tomography were proposed, with indefinite regular follow up thereafter.
The conventional investigative approach, intravenous urography, exposes the patient to the risks of radiation and reaction to contrast media.
Intravenous urography is no longer the gold standard for diagnosing urolithiasis.
On urography, the collecting systems are splayed.
Cystoscopy and excretory urography or renal ultrasonography were used to evaluate almost all of the patients.
We obtained the radiographs of patients aged 40-85 years who had undergone intravenous urography between 1994 and 1996.
Computed tomographic scan and urography showed no tumor.
Derivatives
urogram
noun
Excretory and retrograde urograms and voiding cystograms may demonstrate associated conditions.
Example sentencesExamples
Overall, 1718 ‘control’ urograms were analysed, comprising 981 women and 737 men.
An intravenous urogram revealed a filling defect in the right renal pelvis, and cystoscopy showed blood emerging from the right ureteric orifice only.
An intravenous urogram is superior in these circumstances and would therefore be the next investigation.
Intravenous urograms provide only gross images of the kidneys and miss other local pathology.
