Renal venogram

Alternate Names : Venogram - renal, Venography, Venogram - kidney

Risks

Risks from this test may include:

Allegic reaction to the contrast dye
Bleeding
Blood clots
Injury to a vein

There is low-level radiation exposure. However, most experts feel that the risk of most x-rays is smaller than other risks we take every day. Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray.

Special Considerations

This test is rarely done. It has largely been replaced by CT scan and MRI.
