What should you do if you discover while taking patient history that the patient scheduled for an intravenous urogram (IVU) takes metformin hydrochloride daily?
1. Proceed with the examination if kidney function is normal.
2. Instruct the patient to withhold the metformin for 48 hours after the examination.
3. Reschedule the examination until the patient has been off metformin for 48 hours.

Routine excretory urography usually includes a postmicturition radiograph of the bladder. This is done to demonstrate
- tumor masses.
- residual urine.
- prostatic enlargement.
