What are some alternatives to retrograde pyelogram?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
IV pyelogram: However, it entails IV infusion of contrast which may have side effects on kidneys. The retrograde study should not hurt the kidneys.

CT renal exam: A ct without and then with IV contrast may give an accurate evaluation of the kidneys and ureters. Occasionally, small tumors, or stones may only be seen by retrograde pyelography.
