A system and method of diagnosing kidney syndromes using an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is described. The system includes an X-ray imaging device and an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device. The IVD device is used to identify risk factors such as sensitivity to contrast agents, or to indicate or rule out other syndromes which may have symptoms similar to kidney malfunction. The level of blood components such as creatinine may be used, in conjunction with other medical data and IVD tests, to determine a risk score for the patient. The risk score may be used to recommend modifications to a baseline procedure such as change in the volume or type of contrast agent, the number of X-rays, or the performance of post-procedure dialysis.
