An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) It is an X-ray test that provides pictures of the urinary tract, which consists of the kidneys, the bladder, the ureters, and the urethra.

Sir,
The above number 1 gentleman seems to be a doc sort of thing. given the perfect answer in detail.
But as a layman I can only say that IVP is a special type of X-ray for your kidney, ureter and bladder, taken after cleaning your intestinal gasses. (excluding urethra)
A radio-opaque dye is is injected inside your body by intravenous route and then x-ray is taken to visualise the structure of your urine secreting system.
Generally iodine compound is used as the dye. there fore sometimes chances of hypersensitivity reaction is also present.
