Preoperative diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is possible in numerous cases by renal angiography, thus permitting the differentiation of this disease from renal adenocarcinoma. Angiographic features are reviewed in patients with proved XGP. The most useful findings are: (1) presence of hypervascularised areas; (2) dilated renal capsular and perforating arteries, and (3) heterogenous aspect of the kidney during the nephrographic period.
在许多病例中，通过肾血管造影术可以对黄色肉芽肿性肾盂肾炎（XGP）进行术前诊断，从而将这种疾病与肾腺癌区分开来。本文回顾了经证实的XGP患者的血管造影特征。最有用的发现是：（1）存在血管过度增生区域；（2）肾包膜动脉和穿支动脉扩张，以及（3）肾造影期肾脏的不均匀表现。
