Intravenous Pyelography
Intravenous Pyelography uses a combination of X-rays and contrast dye to create images of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Although CT have largely replaced IVP, urologists may order this procedure if they want a more detailed image of the kidneys and ureters. Continue Reading

Urinalysis
A urinalysis is a test that examines urine by physical, chemical or microscopic methods. It's also referred to as a urine test, urine analysis or simply a UA. It can be used to diagnose and monitor a multitude of presenting conditions, and can detect early signs of disease, including those that affe ... Continue Reading

Cytology
Urine cytology is a diagnostic test that takes cells from a urine sample and examines them under a microscope for signs of disease. It's most often used to diagnose certain types of cancer, but can occasionally detect certain viruses, too. Continue Reading

PSA Testing
A PSA test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) found in a blood sample. Elevated PSA levels can indicate prostate cancer; however, there are conflicting opinions on what levels should be considered "normal," so a conversation with your doctor regarding testing is recommended.

Urodynamic Studies
Numerous imaging studies, performed in real time as urine moves through the urinary tract, can help urologists diagnose a range of issues, from vericoureteral reflux and urinary system blockages to the cause of frequent urinary tract infections. Continue Reading
