The role of anterograde pyelography in the transplant kidney.
Ureteral obstruction or sloughing must be considered as a cause of non-function or poor function of the transplanted kidney. Established investigative techniques may not exclude a ureteral lesion conclusively or define its exact site if present. The role of anterograde pyelography in this situation is discussed. It is concluded that anterograde pyelography is a simple, safe and valuable investigation of the outflow tract of the transplanted kidney.
