mobile kidney, floating kidney, nephroptosis
have been suffering for 15 years with what I think is nephroptosis, I am allergic to iodine , so Ivu is out of the question. For me at least ..won't chance another reaction. Does anyone know how to be tested for this by ultrasound? No tech that I've spoken to says they've ever done one with a person in the erect position. I think I have been having diet's crisis. Nothing shows on CT in the supine position...help anyone? Been treating for IBS but don't think so.
I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you about the ultrasound, but you may want to ask your doctor about the possibility of using a NON-ionic dye for the IVP. I've had severe reactions to iodine based dyes in the past, but can get away with a non-ionic dye. I do typically still pre-medicate with benadryl, as a precaution, but I've not had any trouble with the non-ionic dyes.
Best of luck.
