Explanation

IVP stands for Intravenous Pyelogram, a type of X-ray test used to examine the kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. During this test, a dye is injected into a vein, which then travels through the bloodstream to the kidneys. The dye makes the urinary tract show up more clearly on the X-ray images, helping doctors to identify any problems or abnormalities.
