Retrograde Kidney and Ureter X-ray Imaging

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 74420

Contrast dye is delivered upward into the ureters and kidneys, usually through a catheter placed during a separate procedure, and X-ray images are taken to outline the urinary tract from the inside. This helps identify blockages, stones, strictures, or other abnormalities in the ureters or kidneys. It is typically performed alongside a urologic procedure rather than as a standalone visit.
