Renal phlebography: an aid in the diagnosis of the absent or non-functioning kidney.
There are clinical situations that may preclude the use of retrograde pyelography and renal arteriography in the differential diagnosis of the absent, dysgenetic and non-functioning kidney. At times these procedures are non-diagnostic. We present 8 cases to demonstrate the efficacy of selective renal phlebography as an aid in the diagnosis of these entities.
