Ureteropyelography

Ureteropyelography is an x-ray examination of the urinary tract, which allows you to visualize the condition of the ureters and kidneys. Ureterography is a radiographic technique used to visualize the ureter, and pyelography is used to visualize the kidneys.

Ureteropyelography is performed using special equipment, which includes a catheter and an X-ray tube. A catheter is inserted into the bladder and ureter and then examined using X-rays. This allows you to get a clear image of the ureters, kidneys and other organs of the urinary system.

The purpose of ureteropyelography is to diagnose various diseases of the urinary tract. For example, this could be the diagnosis of urolithiasis, pyelonephritis, urinary tract tumors and other diseases.

Ureteropyelography may be prescribed by a urologist or nephrologist. The results of the study help determine the cause of the disease and choose the most effective treatment method.
