Abstract

A non-invasive test of renal function, renal scintigraphy using Tc99m DTPA was used to assess improvement of renal function in patients of ureteropelvic junction obstruction, after pyeloplasty. The study revealed that improvement in renal function occurred in 26.4 % of the patients while Tmax improved in 85.29 % of patients, revealing the fact that despite improvement in drainage, many kidneys fail to improve in function after pyelopasty.
