Thickening of the wall of the renal pelvis has been attributed to infection, to rejection in allografts and to non-specific causes by different authors. We reviewed the clinical data, imaging studies and pathology of 35 patients with sonographically demonstrable thickening in 41 renal pelves of native kidneys. Our findings are that less than 50% of the patients had infection. The others had a wide variety of apparent causes for the thickening which include obstruction, surgery, edema induced by chemicals and other processes. Vesicoureteral reflux was demonstrated in 50% of the patients studied by cystography. We concluded that renal pelvic thickening is a non-specific finding.
肾盂壁增厚被不同作者归因于感染、同种异体移植排斥反应和非特异性原因。我们回顾了35例患者的临床资料、影像学检查和病理学情况，这些患者的41个天然肾肾盂在超声检查中显示有增厚。我们的研究结果是，不到50%的患者有感染。其他患者增厚的原因多种多样，包括梗阻、手术、化学物质及其他过程引起的水肿。在通过膀胱造影术研究的患者中，50%显示有膀胱输尿管反流。我们得出结论，肾盂增厚是一种非特异性表现。
