  • Title: Urography during pregnancy.
    Author: Rigby MR, MacEwan DW.
    Journal: J Can Assoc Radiol; 1976 Dec; 27(4):227-31. PubMed ID: 993237.
    Abstract:
    A review of 22,971 pregnancies from 1969-74 reveals that the reasons for requesting excretory urography were renal colic of pregnancy 11, pyelonephritis 8, renal contusion 2, threatened abortion 1, and suspected degeneration of fibroid 1. The final diagnoses were similar except that two patients with torsion of ovarian cysts and a renal calculus were discovered. The only intravenous pyelographic examination that was decisive for diagnosis was in a patient with a ureteric calculus. Careful clinical correlation should reduce excretory urography during pregnancy.
