ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in the diagnosis of urinary tract obstruction after renal transplantation.METHODS:
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.RESULTS:
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.CONCLUSIONS:
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.
