Value of supranormal function and renogram patterns on 99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine scintigraphy in relation to the extent of hydronephrosis for predicting ureteropelvic junction obstruction in the newborn.

Abstract

(99m)Tc-MAG3 renography at 1 mo after birth has a significant additive value in relation to the degree of hydronephrosis in predicting UPJ obstruction in patients with prenatally diagnosed unilateral hydronephrosis with normal function.
