  • Title: Washout urography in the diagnosis of renal hypertension.
    Author: El-Said W.
    Journal: Int Urol Nephrol; 1978; 10(2):141-6. PubMed ID: 700944.
    Abstract:
    Washout urography was used as a screening test for 100 hypertensive patients. Eleven patients had renal hypertension. These were 4 cases of unilateral renal artery stenosis, 6 cases of unilateral pyelonephritis and one case of bilateral pyelonephritis with atherosclerosis of the right renal artery. The increase in size of the affected kidneys after Lasix injection was much restricted relatvie to the normal contralateral kidneys. The test proved valuable for screening cases of renovascular hypertension and unilateral pyelonephritis.
