Intrarenal reflux: anatomical, dynamic and radiological studies-part I
Urological Research
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
The radiographic appearances and dynamics of intrarenal reflux have been defined in an experimental study of the pig's kidney. Intrarenal reflux occurs only with "refluxing" papillae and is an "all-or-none" phenomenon when the threshold figure of 10-15 mm Hg is exceeded. Increasing intrapelvic pressure leads to increasing density of the radiographic shadow but new areas of intrarenal reflux are not produced.
