Urinary System

Part 2

QuestionAnswer
Antegrade- Normal direction of blood flow
Retrograde- Against normal flow of blood
Antegrade filling technique- IVU
Retrograde filling technique requires- Urinary Catheterization
Lower Concentrations (30% iodinated salt) are required for Bladder Studies
Higher Concentrations (50-70%) are used for Kidney & Ureters
Local Reactions- Only affect a specific region of the body • Extravasation • Phlebitis
Systemic Reactions- affect the entire body or a specific organ system • Mild • Moderate • Severe
Phlebitis- Inflammation of a vein
Extravasation- Leakage of iodinated contrast media outside the vessel
Preparation of Intestinal Tract If possible, low-residue diet for 1 to 2 days before examination Sometimes non–gas-forming laxative the day before the examination Nothing by mouth (NPO) after midnight the day of the examination
For retrograde urography, patient should Drink 4 to 5 cups of water several hours before examination
Patient should be well hydrated in order to help the Kidneys Flush Out Contrast
Who is responsible for observing guidelines for radiation protection? Radiologist
Exposures should be made_______ unless otherwise requested At the End of Expiration
Intravenous Urography (IVU) Evaluates- Kidney Function and Structure
Function is the- Ability of the kidneys to filter contrast medium from the blood and concentrate it with the urine
Structure is- Visualized as the contrast material passes through the Kidney
What is the best overall indicator of kidney function Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
What is the normal GFR? 90 to 120 mL/min
A GFR Below 90 mL/min indicates Renal Dysfunction
Normal creatinine- 0.5 to 1.2 mg/100 mL
Creatinine ______ is a cause for concern Above 2.5
Intravenous Urography Preparation- Before procedure, patient must empty bladder, remove clothing, and put on a gown Review the patients allergies, GFR and creatine Make scout radiograph (regular KUB, CR at iliac crest)
___________ of contrast (for the average adult) is administered via venipuncture when performing a Intravenous Urography procedure 30 - 100 mL
Used to check for small tumor masses or enlarged prostate in males Post Void
AP Urogram (IVU) Patient Position- Supine, Support at knees to reduce back strain
AP Urogram (IVU) CR Placement- Perpendicular, at level of iliac crest
AP Oblique Urogram (IVU) Patient Position- 30° RPO or LPO
AP Oblique Urogram (IVU) CR Placement- Perpendicular, at level of iliac crest, 2 inches lateral to midline, elevated side
Retrograde Urography (RUG) Evaluates- Kidney structure (IVU in reverse)
Retrograde Urography (RUG) requires ________ for injection of contrast Catheterization of the Ureters through a Uterocystoscope
RUG is for patient who cannot do IVU, Contrast is injected directly into the Renal System, not into Blood
Cystography Evaluates- Bladder Structure
Cystourethrography Evaluates- Bladder and Urethra structure, but can be voiding for function
