Urography Intravenous

Intravenous urography (syn. pyelography) is a method for diagnosing diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract, in which a contrast agent is injected into the patient’s blood, which allows one to visualize the condition of the kidneys and urinary tract on an x-ray.

This method is used to diagnose various diseases such as kidney stones, tumors, infections and other diseases that may cause kidney problems.

Intravenous urography involves injecting contrast into a patient's vein, usually through a catheter in an arm or leg. The patient is then placed in a supine or lateral decubitus position to ensure that the contrast is evenly distributed throughout the body.

After the contrast is administered, the patient must remain motionless for several minutes to allow the contrast to spread throughout the body. The patient is then asked to take a deep breath and hold it to allow the contrast agent to fill the urinary tract.

The patient is then asked to stand up and take a few steps to allow the contrast to spread throughout the body and into the urinary tract. After this, the patient is again asked to lie on his back and take a deep breath to remove the contrast from the body.

As a result of this process, the condition of the urinary tract and kidneys can be seen on an x-ray, which makes it possible to diagnose various diseases.

Intravenous urography is one of the most accurate methods for diagnosing diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract, which allows you to obtain information about the condition of the kidneys and ureters, as well as identify possible disorders in their work.

INTRAVENOUS UROGRAPHY (synonym – intravenous pyelography) is an x-ray examination using a contrast agent injected into a vein.

The main objective of urography is a detailed study of the structures and functions of the kidneys in order to detect diseases that
