  • Title: Pressure-flow relationship in partial obstruction of ureter in pigs.
    Author: Mortensen J, Djurhuus JC, Taagehøj-Jensen F.
    Journal: Urol Int; 1984; 39(2):80-3. PubMed ID: 6719638.
    Abstract:
    In 10 female pigs, the proximal part of the left ureter was obstructed for 10 weeks by implantation of the ureter into the psoas muscle. After 9 weeks of obstruction, 6 systems showed delayed or impaired drainage at renographic examination. Renal function was slightly impaired in 1 case. At operation, 4 systems were macroscopically normal while the rest showed slight to moderate dilatation. The intrapelvic resting pressure was normal in 8 of 9 cases. At perfusion, all systems responded within the normal limits at 8 cm3/min while high-pressure responses were found in 4 units above 8 cm3/min. No correlation was found between the resting pressure and the pressure response and the degree of dilatation or impairment of renal function.
