Dismembered pyeloplasty followed by metachronous ureteropelvic junction obstruction in the contralateral kidney

Urology. 2000 May 1;55(5):775. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(00)00507-0.

Abstract

Hydronephrosis due to congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is commonly diagnosed by antenatal sonography. We report the case of an infant who developed new-onset hydronephrosis in the right kidney following uneventful left-sided pyeloplasty for a congenital UPJO. The furosemide minus 15-minute diuretic renogram (F-15 DR) was used to confirm obstruction in the affected renal unit when standard diuretic renography was equivocal. The indications for surgery or observation as well as the role of the F-15 DR are discussed.
