Primary hydronephrosis. Assessment of diuretic renography, pelvis perfusion pressure, operative findings, and renal and ureteral histology.
Hydronephrosis generally implies ureteropelvic junction obstruction, but may be mimicked by a variety of other disorders. The authors have attempted to determine the relative diagnostic value of diuretic renography and the pelvis perfusion test in children with hydronephrosis by correlating the results with operative findings, renal and ureteral histology, and postoperative results.
