Résumé :

Several radionuclide parameters are routinely used for the diagnosis of renal obstruction. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of those parameters, an experimental model of partial ureteral obstruction in rats was used. Neither the cortical transit time, nor the response to furosemide could serve to discriminate between obstructive and nonobstructive kidneys. These parameters were, however, more or less related to the degree of impairment of the single kidney glomerular filtration rate and should probably be considered as functional parameters reflecting the grade of the obstructive phenomenon. © 1985 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
