[Phlebography, a safe and simple method in the diagnosis of renal agenesia/dysgenesia (author's transl)].
It is not possible to completely exclude the possibility of errors in clinical and urographic suspicion of renal agenesia/dysgenesia, using sonography, computerised tomography or arteriography. Phlebography yields the most unequivocal findings; in fact, this method is particularly applicable in case of desired withdrawal of venous blood for the purpose of determination of renin. Attention must be paid to variation in venous drainage on both sides, especially, however, on the left side. Dysplastic pelvic kidneys are probably detected most safely by means of computerised tomography.
