Complete and Partial Ureteral Obstruction: Evaluation of Renal Effects With P-31 MR Spectroscopy and Tc-DMSA Scintigraphy

Functional Change in Partial or Complete Ureteral Obstruction in Rat Kidney

“…Many investigators have studied hydronephrosis using this animal with ureteral ligation, which results in complete obstruction (1). Most of the clinical cases, however, have partial obstruction and the pathophysiology of partial obstruction is much different from that of complete one (3). Therefore some investigators intended to establish experimental modeis of partial ureteral obstruction in rat.…”
