Renography

In this lesson, we will define renography and determine how it can help detect disturbances in renal blood flow.  We will first review some important nursing interventions and assessments before and after the procedure to prevent complications.  We will finish the lesson by identifying some important safety information for the nurse on the handling of specimens and urine after the procedure.
