Kidney Scan

(continued)

What To Think About

Abnormal results from a kidney scan may be further investigated by tests such as a kidney biopsy, ultrasound, intravenous pyelogram (IVP), or computed tomography (CT) scan. For more information, see the topics Kidney Biopsy, Abdominal Ultrasound, Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP), or CT Scan of the Body.
Another type of scan (radionuclide cystogram) may be done to determine whether urine is flowing backward from the bladder into the ureters. For more information, see the topic Cystourethrogram.
