The selection of patients with chronic obstructive uropathy for surgery is difficult because of problems in identifying true obstruction in a grossly dilated urinary tract. This is especially so in schistosomal (bilharzial) obstructive uropathy. A prospective study of 90 patients (68 with chronic schistosomal and 22 with non-bilharzial obstructive uropathy) was carried out. All patients underwent pre-operative and post-operative radionuclide 99mTc DTPA diuretic renography (RDR). The aims were to assess the value of RDR in the pre- and post-operative management of these patients and whether it could predict the outcome of surgery. Distinctive renogram patterns were identified in patients who required surgical management. These were found useful in monitoring the results and in predicting the outcome of surgery.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
