What does KUB·IVP mean in medicine?

The most common X-ray examination in urinary system examination is kidney, ureter and bladder radiography (KUB), which can tell us whether the bone structure of our body is normal or not and whether there are urinary calculi (more than 90% urinary calculi can occur in KUB).

Whether there is abnormal displacement of body soft tissue, etc. If there is any abnormality in the urinary system of KUB, you should further undergo intravenous pyelography, which is commonly called IVP.

Abdominal plain film (KUB) is usually taken on the patient's back, which is mainly used for the initial diagnosis of urinary calculi.

Standing abdominal plain film is mainly used to diagnose intestinal obstruction and gastrointestinal perforation.

Extended data:

The structure of urinary system is an important way for human body to excrete metabolites, and it can also regulate water and salt metabolism and acid-base balance, and produce a variety of bioactive substances, which plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the internal environment. The urinary system consists of/kloc-0 per kidney, two ureters,/kloc-0 per bladder and/kloc-0 per urethra.

The urine produced by the kidney flows into the bladder through the ureter for temporary storage, and when the urine reaches a certain amount, it is excreted through the urethra. Therefore, it can also be said that the urinary system is the general name of organs that manufacture, transmit, store and urinate. The ureter is a pair of slender tubes with a total length of about 20 ~ 30cm. The upper side connects the renal pelvis, and the lower side enters the bladder. There are three strictures in the middle, which are the retention parts of stones.

Bladder is an organ for storing urine, and its size and shape change with the amount of urine. The bladder triangle is between the two ureters and the internal urethral orifice, and it is smooth when emptying. This is a common site of tumor and tuberculosis.
