title: [Dynamic scintigraphy of the kidneys using a diuretic].
abstract: The authors describe the application of the method of dynamic scintigraphy of the kidneys, using a diuretic, in patients with signs of stasis in the upper urinary pathways, based on findings of excretory urography and standard radioisotope examination of the kidneys. They obtained three groups of results: 1. Obstruction during the standard radioisotope examination of the kidneys became normal after administration of the diuretic. 2. The obstruction receded during the standard radioisotope examination of the kidneys as a result of the diuretic, but only insignificantly. 3. There were signs of obstruction on standard radioisotope examination of the kidneys and they persisted also after administration of the diuretic. These results of dynamic scintigraphy of the kidneys using a diuretic make it possible to differentiate more readily dilatation of the upper urinary pathways in the absence of an obstruction from dilatation due to a significant obstruction, which is important when deciding on further diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in clinical urological practice.
