title: Diuretic-induced renal length changes in the estimation of renal function with MR urography.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to evaluate whether administration of a diuretic agent in MR urography has an effect on renal length and to determine whether the increase in length can be used for the assessment of renal function.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Renal length may change after diuretic injection, and these changes correlate with renal function.
