- Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether administration of a diuretic agent in MR urography has an effect on renal length and to determine whether the increase in length can be used for the assessment of renal function., Conclusion: Renal length may change after diuretic injection, and these changes correlate with renal function.
