IVP is an intravenous pyelogram. IV dye gets filtered into the collecting system of the kidneys and ureters. X-rays are taken to follow to contrast to looks for obstruction, stones, etc. The test is worthless if you are full of poop. A Noncontrast CT is by far superior to IVP if they are looking for stones but there may be other things they are looking for

I'm scheduled in June for ivp. My issue was some scaring in ureter (from Stent situation) and was narrowing.....put in another Stent and left for a couple months.
Now they are doing IVP to make sure area in ureter healed and isn't narrowing again.

I'm pretty sure I'm good...no issues for 2 months
