Magnetic resonance urography in the diagnosis of urinary tract obstruction after renal transplantation / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in the diagnosis of urinary tract obstruction after renal transplantation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 31 patients with suspected urinary tract obstruction after renal transplantation were examined, and the results were compared with those from surgery and B-ultrasound examination.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The urinary tract after renal transplantation was clearly shown using MRU, and all patients were clearly diagnosed by MRU. Imaging results were consistent with those from surgery.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>MRU is suitable for detecting urinary tract obstruction after renal transplantation. It is a alternative method for IVP and CT in patients with renal function impairment and uremia.</p>
