Used in most cases.
Irrigation ports useful when
blood clots are present .

• A diagnostic procedure used in order to determine how well the kidneys are functioning
by measuring blood levels of urea.

• Urea is formed as an end product of protein catabolism.
• Is normally excreted by the kidneys through the urine.
• A critical range of 100mg/dL indicates serious impairment of the kidneys.

IVP – intravenous pyelogram
• A visual record in the form of an x-ray.
• Obtained by the injection of a contrast medium into a vein, so as to make the renal calyces, renal pelvises, ureters,
and urinary bladder more prominent on the x-ray.

CRF – chronic renal failure
•A condition where increased levels of urea and other waste products are retained in the blood due to
chronic kidney dysfunction.
Example of enlarged, polycystic kidney on left,
normal on left.
Enlarged polycystic kidneys
