The results of a combined study of 25 patients with idiopathic hydronephrosis are presented. Diuresis renography was performed pre-operatively and surgically removed specimens of the renal pelvis and ureter were examined by light and electron microscopy. There was good correlation between the results of these 2 methods of assessment which have defined 2 broad categories of patients with renal pelvic dilatation. These findings are discussed with particular reference to the clinical value of diuresis renography.
