Contrast Injection Through A Kidney Drainage Tube

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 50394

Contrast dye is injected through a drainage tube already in place in the kidney, or through a catheter already sitting in the ureter, so that X-ray pictures outline the kidney's collecting system and the tube running down toward the bladder. It is used to check the position of the tube and to look for blockage or leakage.
