Antegrade Kidney X-ray Imaging Study

Maryland rates for HCPCS 74425

This is an X-ray imaging study of the kidney and ureter performed by injecting contrast dye through a tube that has already been placed directly into the kidney, allowing the dye to flow downward toward the bladder. It's typically done to evaluate blockages, strictures, or the position of a drainage tube in the urinary system. This is read and interpreted by a radiologist working alongside the physician performing the tube placement.
