A member asked:
Can i drink the night before an intraveneous pyelogram (ipv)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best not to: Alcohol/ethanol tends to dehydrate the body. Ivp's use intravenous contrast ("dye") which may be harmful to a dehydrated kidney system. Same goes for any imaging study that requires the use of contrast. Hydrate your body with water/juice; save the alcohol for later.
