On the Visualization of the Renal Pelves in Cholegraphy

A Simple Method for Measuring Urinary Meglumine Ioglycamide† Concentrations

“…The renal excretion of intravenous cholegraphic agents can be estimated by observing the incidence of urinary tract visualisation on the radiographs (Darnborough and Geffen, 1966;Nolan and Gibson, 1970;Masterson, 1973). However, it has been shown that the presence or absence of urinary tract visualisation during intravenous cholegraphy only partly reflects the urinary concentration of contrast and gives no indication of total excretion or of excretion rates (Theander, 1956).…”

Cholegraphy with Depression of the Renal Excretion of the Contrast Medium

“…Simultaneous hepatic and renal excretion frequently occurred without evidence of liver disease and with satisfactory demonstration of the biliary tract. Also THEANDER (1956) has found that visualization of the renal pelvis does indicate hepato-biliary disease.…”
