  • Title: [Value of the diuretic isotopic renogram in the follow-up of the upper urinary tract after cystectomy and urinary diversion using intestine].
    Author: Moyano Calvo JL, Gómez Benítez S, Cambil Molina T, Castiñeiras Fernández J.
    Journal: Actas Urol Esp; 2003 Sep; 27(8):594-604. PubMed ID: 14587234.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: In our experience we often observe urinary upper tract dilatation after urinari diversion with bowel. To spare useful approaches and therapeutics we have used diuretic renogram. MATERIAL AND METHOD: 26 patients with urinary diversion (Mainz II or Paduana ileal neobladder). We performance ultrasound, urography and diuretic renogram. RESULTS: Follow-up is between 1 y 4 years. After urinary diversion, 54% of the upper tracts are dilated but only 39.3% of them are obstructed in the diuretic renogram. Normal urographic tracts are normal or have good response in the diuretic renogram. Results goes on in the time. CONCLUSIONS: Diuretic renogram is a useful tool in the diagnosis of upper urinary tract obstruction after urinary diversion.
