This document provides information about an Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP) exam, including what it is, why it is performed, how it is performed, and what preparation is required. An IVP is an x-ray exam of the kidneys, bladder, and ureters where contrast dye is injected intravenously to evaluate the urinary tract for various issues like infections, tumors, kidney stones, or abdominal injuries. The test involves injecting contrast dye via IV and taking timed x-ray images. Preparation may involve fasting and taking laxatives or an enema to clear the bowels. The test is done in an x-ray department with a doctor present in case any reactions occur.
