The video-urodynamic study of the upper urinary tract provides crucial anatomical and dynamic data for diagnosing kidney dilation. This minimally invasive procedure offers conclusive information, aiding surgical or observational decisions with minimal risk.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Renal Physiology

Background:

  • Upper urinary tract videourodynamic studies, including the Vela Navarrete test, have been utilized since the mid-20th century.
  • Despite advancements in imaging, this technique remains valuable for assessing upper urinary tract function and structure.
  • Continued practice necessitates an update on its indications and procedural review.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and update the current indications for video-urodynamic study of the upper urinary tract.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of this procedure in patients with various kidney dilation pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Patients are positioned prone for prone decubitus video urodynamic testing.
  • Procedures include pyelomanometry, basal pyelic pressure measurement, pressure changes after induced diuresis, and pressure-flow studies.

  • Renal cavity puncture allows for biochemical, cytological, and microbiological analysis of urine, followed by antegrade pyelogram for morphological and dynamic assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Structural and dynamic data obtained from the studies provided conclusive information in the majority of cases.
    • The findings significantly facilitated decision-making regarding surgical intervention or conservative observation.

    Conclusions:

    • Interpretation relies on integrated radiological and dynamic findings, assessing obstruction, dilation volume, and ureteral peristalsis.
    • The video-urodynamic study is well-tolerated, repeatable, and offers comprehensive anatomical, dynamic, and etiological information with minimal risk.
    • It remains a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of upper urinary tract conditions.
