Effect of Per-cutaneous Nephrosotomy Drainage on Radioisotope Imaging of Hydronephrotic Kidneys

Hydronephrosis describes a condition of urine-filled dilation of the collecting system. Normally, urine flows through the urinary tract with minimal or low pressure. If the build-up of excess fluid in the urinary collecting system continues, there will be an increase in pressure and atrophy of renal cortex. If hydronephrosis is left untreated for a long time, renal damage with permanent loss of function occurs
