title: Infusion pyelography in anuric patients.
abstract: The spectrum for the use of retrograde pyelography in renal failure has been narrowed further by extending the facility of infusion urography to anuric patients. The latter study has helped greatly in sifting apart pre-renal and renal anuria patients from those with obstructive uropathy. In obstructive anuria infusion urography has proved comprehensive in influencing judgment about the exact site and nature of obstruction, in affixing laterality towards the better functioning renal unit and in deciding a suitable definitive operation or planned staged procedures.
