Urinary tract changes associated with exposure in utero to diethylstilbestrol

Intravenous pyelograms were performed on 128 women who had been exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol (DES). For comparison, intravenous pyelograms (IVPs) of 48 non-exposed women were reviewed: No difference in urinary tract abnormalities was noted. There was no significant increase in urinary tract abnormalities in women with upper genital tract abnormalities demonstrated by hysterosalpingogram as compared to a group of women whose x-rays of the uterus were normal.
