An intravenous pyelogram is sometimes abbreviated as "IVP." It is also known as intravenous urography, or an intravenous urogram, and can be abbreviated as "IVU."
An intravenous pyelogram can assist doctors in identifying, among other things: 1 Kidney or bladder stones 2 Tumors or cysts in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder 3 Scarring after urinary surgery or trauma 4 Enlarged prostate gland 5 Congenital kidney defects, such as medullary sponge kidney
A CT urogram or CT IVP requires using IV contrast and provides greater detail. Risks associated with an intravenous pyelogram are minor, but there can be complications, and it is almost always because of the contrast media used (X-ray dye). Intravenous pyelography is not the only type of medical test that uses contrast media.

Persons encountering health services in other specified circumstancesZ76. 89 is a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code meaning 'Persons encountering health services in other specified circumstances'.
Answer: Assign codes N14. 1, Nephropathy induced by other drugs, medicaments and biological substances, and T50. 8X5A, Adverse effect of diagnostic agents, initial encounter, for contrast-induced nephropathy.
Intravenous pyelogram – In which a contrast solution is introduced through a vein into the circulatory system. Retrograde pyelogram – Any pyelogram in which contrast medium is introduced from the lower urinary tract and flows toward the kidney (i.e. in a "retrograde" direction, against the normal flow of urine).
For retrograde pyelogram, we use CPT 52005 which is also bundled with CPT 52332. So 52005 is not needed.

Nephropathy is the deterioration of kidney function. The final stage of nephropathy is called kidney failure, end-stage renal disease, or ESRD. According to the CDC, diabetes is the most common cause of ESRD.
Listen to pronunciation. (NEH-froh-TOK-sik) Poisonous or damaging to the kidney.
Myeloma cast nephropathy, also referred to as light-chain cast nephropathy, is the formation of plugs (urinary casts) in the kidney tubules from free immunoglobulin light chains leading to kidney failure in the context of multiple myeloma. It is the most common cause of kidney injury in myeloma.
Purpose of the Test. An intravenous pyelogram is used to see the structures and outlines of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. With better visibility, doctors can see abnormalities, such as scarring, tumors, or kidney stones. 1 . Your doctor might order an intravenous pyelogram as an early test to help diagnose causes of certain signs ...
The preparation, including receiving an antihistamine and the contrast medium, will take about an hour. The pyelogram will take anywhere from one to four hours.

Before the Test. During the Test. After the Test. An intravenous pyelogram is a medical imaging test that uses contrast media (also known as dye) injected into the veins to help see the urinary system clearly on an X-ray. An intravenous pyelogram is sometimes abbreviated as "IVP.".
Another rare risk factor of intravenous contrast media is Contrast Induced Nephrotoxicity (CIN). How CIN happens is not fully understood, but there are certain people who are at increased risk: 3
Depending on risk factors, your doctor might order additional blood tests or exams in the days after an intravenous pyelogram. Be sure to tell the doctor about any difficulty urinating, headaches, or pain after the test.
Your doctor might order an intravenous pyelogram as an early test to help diagnose causes of certain signs and symptoms, such as abdominal or flank pain, pain during urination, difficulty urinating, or blood in urine . An intravenous pyelogram can assist doctors in identifying, among other things:

IVP is an x-ray exam that uses a special dye to outline the kidneys, ureters and bladder. It can show how your renal and urinary system handles fluid waste. This helps your health care team find problems in the urinary tract.
It is done by an x-ray technician with a doctor’s oversight. You’ll likely be on a restricted diet 24 hours before to the test. You’ll be asked to urinate right before, to make sure your bladder is empty. Then you’ll be asked to lie on your back and remain still.
IVP is used to diagnose why a patient has blood in their urine, or pain in their side/lower back. It can also show us how each person's unique kidneys and urinary system is made. It can find: The dye shows up well on the x-ray and outlines your organs.
Once the agent has moved through the kidneys, it will pass down the ureters into the bladder. X-rays are taken throughout to follow the path of the contrast agent. The x-rays will be reviewed for evidence of tumors, cysts, stones, or other structural and functional abnormalities.
Reactions occur in anywhere from 3 to 13 out of 100 people having an IVP. In general, reactions are minor, and consist of: These are often treated with antihistamines (drugs that reduce the histamines in your body from an allergic reaction). In very rare cases, more severe reactions can occur.
Diabetes. In these cases, you may be given antihistamines or steroids before the exam. This will reduce a reaction to the x-ray dye. Also, the use of a "non-ionic contrast agent" may have a lower risk of allergic response.
Radiation exposure from an IVP is relatively low. But if you’re pregnant (or think you may be pregnant), you should tell your health care provider before the test. This is because a fetus should not be exposed to any radiation, if possible.
