Abstract
High-dose intravenous urography (IVU) was performed 62 times in 59 patients with acute (ARF) and chronic (CRF) renal failure. The major diagnostic categories were chronic glomerulonephritis, malignant hypertension, acute tubular necrosis (ATN), and acute glomerulonephritis. The cause of the renal failure, whether CRF or ARF, oliguric or nonoliguric, could not be reliably determined by either the evolving pattern or density of nephrogram, or the size of the kidneys. Although a persistent dense nephrogram favored the diagnosis of ATN, the major correlate was a decreasing density of nephrogram as the serum creatinine level increased (P < 0.005).This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
