Abstract
Analysis of i.v. pyelograms performed over a 5 yr period showed that 9% of the examinations carried out on non-Aboriginal patients demonstrated calculi in the renal tract. Although considerably fewer pyelograms were performed on Aboriginal patients, only 1 showed a calculus. The racial and other differences between the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory were discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
