Chromocystoscopy. Prices, reviews, ratings
General information
This functional diagnostic procedure uses a special solution made from chemically pure indigo carmine. It is administered intravenously or intramuscularly into the patient's body to analyze how the kidneys and upper urinary tract function. Based on this analysis, a complete picture of the functionality of these internal organs can be created.
An analysis of the behavior of internal organs, called chromocystoscopy, can be performed using a device such as a cytoscope.
Procedure
Preparation
Before performing chromocystoscopy, the patient needs to drink a glass of liquid. This should be done 1.5-2 hours before the procedure. Even if the patient has a strong desire to go to the toilet, he or she should do this only after the procedure. During the entire procedure, the bladder must be full.
The process of performing chromocystoscopy
Chromocystoscopy is performed as follows:
- Inserting the cystoscope through the urethra into the bladder.
- Injecting indigo carmine into a vein.
- Filling the bladder with a small amount of liquid (no more than 250 ml).
- Examination of the bladder.
- Observing the release of indigo carmine from the orifices of the ureter. The specialist begins observation from the side that is presumably healthy, and then proceeds to examining the diseased side. This is due to the fact that indigo carmine will be released from a healthy kidney much faster than from a diseased one.
Before the procedure, the introduction of painkillers into the bladder is contraindicated. Otherwise, they can disrupt the dynamics of the urinary tract.
The time of indigo carmine appearance in the bladder and its color indicate certain problems with the kidneys and urinary tract. Experienced specialists will be able to determine abnormalities in the functioning of the kidneys and upper urinary tract using these two factors.
Indications
Indications for chromocystoscopy:
- assessment of the functional state of the kidneys, as well as the patency of the urinary tract;
- diagnosis of diseases of the abdominal organs.
Contraindications
There are certain contraindications for performing this research method. Chromocystoscopy is contraindicated for patients with the following symptoms of the disease:
- acute inflammatory processes in the urethra during defecation;
- urethral obstruction;
- renal and liver failure;
- nephrosis;
- shock;
- collapse.
Complications
When performing the chromocystoscopy procedure by an experienced urologist, no complications should arise. They arise only if the course of the study is disrupted.
Prices and clinics
Chromocystoscopy has an average cost of 1,200 rubles. Patient reviews directly depend on the experience of the doctor who performs this procedure. With a high level of professionalism, complications can be avoided during and after chromocystoscopy.
