title: [The double-pyelon kidney with special regard to the transport function (author's transl)].
abstract: The double-pyelon kidney, i.e. the total or partial duplication of the urinary transport system may involve both diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Observations are presented on the strength of 398 cases with total or partial duplication of the upper urinary tract. The incidence rate was 0.7 percent. The various types of duplication are presented with the diagnostic and therapeutic features involved. Transport function is discussed in detail as investigated under ideal physiologic conditions: during excretory urography under the amplifier screen. Aiming at early detection of the congenital anomaly and specification of the appropriate management, a urologic check-up is suggested even with mild presenting symptoms. Special emphasis is given to the consistent day-time enuresis in children over 3 years old, as a possible sign of ectopic ureter. Both children and parents are saved much unpleasantness by early detection, proper management and considerate surgery.
