“…The advent of CT and MRI has led to less use of the cheaper, less invasive and affordable radiological technique for the investigation of the urinary tract. 2 The present finding that the patients subjected to IVU showed equal number of males and females which is in contrast to those reported from Jordan and Pakistan as well as Hameed M. Aklan and Abdullah Mikhlafy 3,4 , their study reported about two-thirds of the patients being males their figures are 60.0%, 63.0% and 66.8% respectively. However, it is in contrast to a study reported from United States, where most cases were females (73.0%) 5 .…”

Background: Intravenous urography (IVU) is a contrast based radiological procedure for the investigation and imaging of the urinary system. It was the gold standard, not until the last two decades when CTU (computed tomography urography) took over. The latter is better because of its improved accuracy in the diagnosis of urinary tract pathologies. Flank pain is a sensation of discomfort or distress in the part of the body below the rib and above the ilium. The possible organs in the flank to be affected include kidney and ureter. Aim This study is aimed at finding out the IVU findings in patients presenting with flank pain in a tertiary hospital in the southern part of Nigeria. Study design and settings: A retrospective study was conducted in the Radiology Department of Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) from 1st February 2021 to 10th February 2023. Data Analysis: Data was analyzed using SPSS 20.1 version. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: A total of 100 data was analyzed. Patients between the age of 5 years and 76 years with a mean age of 39.72 + 14.33 years was used for this study. Majority of the age group was greater than 41years of age with an equal male to female distribution. That is the ratio of female to male in this study is 1:1. The study shows that more patients had abnormal IVU patterns than normal. More females had normal IVU patterns while abnormal IVU patterns were more common in males. The study also shows that the ureters were more affected than the kidneys because we had more abnormal IVU pattern in the ureter than the kidney. Conclusion: The age group with the highest abnormal IVU pattern is the greater than 41years group, probably because they were more in number in the study population and again may be, we can say the frequency of diseases increases with increasing age.

“…In this index study, normal IVU was 16, this is near 23.1%, 26.0% and 31.2% in Pakistan, Brazil and Yemen 11,[7][8] respectively. This contradicts a report submitted by Little MA et al 5 (77.0%).…”

Background: Uterine fibroid is a common tumor seen in Nigerian women and conventional intravenous urography (IVU) is used in evaluating urinary system before surgical intervention. Aim: This study is aimed at evaluating the usefulness of IVU in the uterine fibroid or is to know if IVU is necessary in patients with uterine fibroid. Study design and settings: A retrospective, observational study was conducted in the Radiology Department of Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH). From 1st May 2021 to 31st May 2023. Data analysis: Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 version. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: A total of 100 data were analyzed. The age of the study group was ≤35 years and ≥ 35 years. This study shows that urinary bladder indentation is the commonest finding (78%) due to pressure effect from the uterine fibroids. The second commonest finding was hydronephrosis(n=52). Grade 2 is the commonest(n=22) while grade 4(n=1) is the least. Conclusion: This study shows that urinary bladder indentation is the commonest finding due to pressure effect from the uterine fibroids. The second commonest finding was hydronephrosis. Grade 2 is the commonest while grade 4 is the least. This showed that IVU is necessary in the preoperative evaluation of patients with uterine fibroids.
