What is another word for Intravenous Pyelogram?
Pronunciation: [ˈɪntɹəvənəs pˈa͡ɪɪlˌɒɡɹam] (IPA) 
An Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP) is a radiographic exam performed to visualize the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. However, there are synonyms to IVP that healthcare professionals may use interchangeably. These include intravenous urogram (IVU), excretory urography, and urography. All of these exams use a dye or contrast medium that is injected into the bloodstream to identify any abnormalities or blockages in the urinary system. It is important to note that while these exams are very effective in visualizing the urinary system, they may cause allergic reactions to those who are sensitive to contrast media. It is important for healthcare providers to inform patients of this possibility and monitor for any adverse reactions during the exam.
