title: Impaired renal arterial blood flow velocity in nephroptosis.
abstract: The diagnosis nephroptosis, as well as surgical treatment of the condition, has been profoundly questioned in recent decades. Here, we report on a case of nephropexy in a young woman with nephroptosis with complete resolution of symptoms and with correction of preoperatively abnormal 99mTc-DMSA scan and renal arterial Doppler examination.
