Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of MR urography(MRU) in the diagnosis of renal tuberculosis. Methods MRU features of 18 cases of renal tuberculosis,nonvisualized or poorly visualized in IVU,were analyzed and compared with pathologic findings. Results MRU provided high-resolution images of the kidneys and upper urinary tract in all patients.MRU features of renal tuberculosis and corresponding pathologic changes were summarized. Conclusions MRU has a great value in diagnosing renal tuberculosis when the kidneys are nonvisualized or poorly visualized in IVU.It can provide diagnostic evidence and is helpful with choice of the therapeutic strategy.
