[Various anatomic and functional characteristics of the urinary system in patients with a history of adnexitis]

Anatomical and functional urinary parameters were assessed, by means of radioisotopic dynamic renal scintigraphy, in 60 female patients with a history of chronic adnexitis. Most of the patients showed anatomical of functional urinary disorders, such as nephroptosis, an enlargement of one of the kidneys, ureteral dilatation, bladder reflux and reduced renal excretion. The disorders were more marked in those cases where chronic adnexitis had been accompanied by genital tumor growth.
