History of allergy to contrast medium. I.V.P.(but it can be safely carried out under the cover of corticosteroids)
Multiple myeloma was once considered as absolute contra-indication (with hydration, I.V.P. can be carried out safely if there is definite indication even in the presence of multiple myeloma.)
Pregnancy
People with known kidney disease or failure should not have an IVP because the dye can worsen kidney function
