CT of the abdomen- Both kidneys present within normal limits for size, shape, architecture attenuation and excretion behavior. There is a normal and uniform nephrogram folowed by a prompt pyelogram bilaterally. There is a normal ureterogram. The position of the ureteral orifices is within normal limits.
Please note that an intravenous urogram is not a very sensitive test of the renal function in general and provides complementary structural information to the laboratory workup.
