title: Assessment of hydroureteronephrosis by renographic evaluation under diuretic stimulus.
abstract: 42 dilated renal units, from 32 patients, were evaluated renographically with 131I, under diuretic stimulus, with the aim of differentiating between obstructed and atonic ureters. The results of this study are similar to the clinical follow-up and surgical findings in 88% of cases.
