The hydrodynamics of pyelorenal reflux.
Our study was done to determine the hydrodynamics of pyelorenal reflux. It is considered important in the pathophysiology of chronic pyelonephritis. An animal model of pyelorenal reflux was studied. The model seems to approximate closely the findings in man, both in the pressure required and the types of pyelorenal reflux observed.
