							Blood analyses : urea and  creatinine levels 
							are high. Clairances are abnormal. 
							
							Before kidney damage urinary tract hypertension can 
							be detected by : 
							
							1. Intravenous urography   2.Isotopic 
							nephrogram       3. 
							Use of scintiscanner 
							
							
							   
							                                                      
							A                                                
							B 
							
							A. Normal 
							urography. Ureters are not shown on their entire 
							lenght.. 
							
							
							B. Intravenous 
							urography. Hypertension of urinary tract. Ureters 
							are shown on their entire lenght . 
							
							   
							                                                        C                                         
							D 
							
							
							C. Normal 
							isotopic nephrogram. Quick elimination of both 
							kidneys. 
							
							
							D. Abnormal 
							isotopic nephrogram. Low elimination of both kidneys. 
							
							  
							
							E 
							
							
							E. Scintiscanner 
							of kidneys. Left: poor kidney captation. Right: 
							normal captation (in 
							red). 
							
							Bladder neck 
							obstacle: 
							
							when urinary tract hypertension occurs (B and D), 
							
							to avoid kidney damage (E) 
							
							An endoscopic
							
							
							resection of 
							bladder neck is necessary
