An IVP is an intravenous pyelogram. This is a special X-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. A dye is introduced through an IV line in your arm. The dye will outline your kidneys and urinary system structure so they can be seen on X-ray. It tests to see how well your kidneys and urinary system are functioning. The test will also show kidney stones.
