Urinary tract evaluation of diethylstilbestrol-exposed female progeny followed in a colposcopy clinic.
Structural abnormalities of the upper genital tract in diethylstilbestrol-exposed (DES-exposed) female progeny have been noted. Since upper genital tract anomalies are often associated with upper urinary tract anomalies, intravenous pyelography was obtained in 102 DES-exposed patients at our institution to determine the incidence of upper urinary tract anomalies. Only two patients had duplication of the ureter. Since this incidence is not greater than that expected in an unexposed population, intravenous pyelogram studies are not routinely recommended for DES-exposed patients.
