Diuretic urography in the assessment of obstruction of the pelvi-ureteric junction. 1980

A E Nilson, and M Aurell, and C G Bratt, and S Nilsson

Twenty adult patients with urographic evidence of unilateral, moderately wide renal pelves were examined by routine and diuretic urography. Planimetry of the corresponding calyx system of the two examinations was performed. An increase in size by more than 20 per cent following osmotic diuresis indicated an obstruction of the pelvi-ureteric junction in kidneys with moderately wide renal pelves. Diuretic urography may be useful to diagnose obstruction as a cause of moderately wide renal pelves and to assess operative results.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007682 Kidney Pelvis The flattened, funnel-shaped expansion connecting the URETER to the KIDNEY CALICES. Renal Pelvis,Pelvis, Kidney,Pelvis, Renal
D008353 Mannitol A diuretic and renal diagnostic aid related to sorbitol. It has little significant energy value as it is largely eliminated from the body before any metabolism can take place. It can be used to treat oliguria associated with kidney failure or other manifestations of inadequate renal function and has been used for determination of glomerular filtration rate. Mannitol is also commonly used as a research tool in cell biological studies, usually to control osmolarity. (L)-Mannitol,Osmitrol,Osmofundin
D008794 Metrizoic Acid A diagnostic radiopaque that usually occurs as the sodium salt. Metrizoate,Benzoic acid, 3-(acetylamino)-5-(acetylmethylamino)-2,4,6-triiodo-,Isopaque,Metrizoate Sodium,Triosil

D014517 Ureteral Obstruction Blockage in any part of the URETER causing obstruction of urine flow from the kidney to the URINARY BLADDER. The obstruction may be congenital, acquired, unilateral, bilateral, complete, partial, acute, or chronic. Depending on the degree and duration of the obstruction, clinical features vary greatly such as HYDRONEPHROSIS and obstructive nephropathy.
