Diuresis renography in hydrouretero-nephrosis

The diuretic renogram has become a useful clinical procedure during the past five years. The major strength of the study is its ability to noninvasively place the majority of patients into unequivocally nonobstructed or obstructed categories. The technique remains limited in the face of marked hydronephrosis or impaired renal function. Future improvements in the technique will be forthcoming if more knowledge can be developed regarding the interrelationship between murine flow rate, volume of the collecting system, and pressure within the collecting system
