Abstract
Diuretic renography is the most widely used noninvasive test for chara cterization of the renal functional abnormalities resulting from urete ropelvic junction obstruction. Since O'Reilly and colleagues introduce d the procedure to clinical practice in the late 1970s, numerous modif ications and improvements to the technique have been introduced. This review provides an overview of diuretic renography as well as an updat e regarding recent consensus reports that outline preferred standard p rotocols.
