Excretory Urography

Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical.

Urography, Excretory

(also called descending urography), roentgen examination of the kidneys and urinary tract after injection of an X-ray contrast medium such as methiodal sodium, which is excreted by the kidneys. The method makes it possible to determine the condition of the kidneys and urinary tract and is used to detect nephrolithiasis, renal tuberculosis, and other diseases.

Nine hundred and seven patients were grouped with follow-up according to the diagnostic method used for detecting hydronephrosis; the first group included the 563 patients whose diagnosis was made by excretory urography, and the second group included the 344 patients who were diagnosed by renal ultrasound.

Traditionally, the preoperative radiological evaluation of patients suspected of having a uterine or adnexal mass was limited to barium enema examination and excretory urography to find out the mass effect on the bowel lumen or the urinary tract.

In most of the cases diagnosis was made by diagnostic imagings such as excretory urography, retrograde urography or computed tomography (CT) and urinary cytology, as for other ureteral tumours, but no characteristic findings were encountered.3 Surgical treatment was performed in twelve out of 13 cases.

Three angles on the pretreatment excretory urography were measured; the inner angle between the axis of the lower pole infundibular and ureteropelvic axis (angle 1), lower pole infundibular axis and main axis of pelvis-ureteropelvic junction point (angle 2), and lower pole infundibular axis and perpendicular line (angle 3).

Although these studies have used excretory urography (IVP) as the reference standard, noncontrast helical computed tomography (CT) appears to be a superior reference standard.[1,2] The authors of this study examined the accuracy of hematuria testing compared with a reference standard of helical CT and attempted to differentiate between dipstick screening and different thresholds of microscopic hematuria.
