- - Twenty piglets underwent assessments using magnetic resonance urography (MRU) and diuretic renography (DR) both before and after surgery, revealing that 12 kidneys exhibited delayed TTT post-operation, indicating significant functional and histological changes.
- - The results suggest that delayed TTT in hydronephrosis is not just a marker of reduced kidney function but also suggests alterations in kidney physiology, particularly relating to increased activity of the
