Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This procedure is called an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) where contrast dye is injected into the bloodstream and travels to the kidneys and urinary tract. An X-ray image of the renal pelvis is obtained to diagnose any abnormalities or blockages in the urinary tract. UA (urinalysis) is a test that evaluates the contents of urine for various substances and cells. BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is a blood test that measures the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood. UTI (urinary tract infection) is an infection in the urinary tract caused by bacteria. None of these tests involve injecting contrast dye to visualize the renal pelvis.
