Background: Donor kidney function is considered a critical determinant of allograft survival after live donor (LD) kidney transplantation, but its independent impact on the evolution of graft function is less well defined. The objective of this study was to dissect the relative contribution of LD kidney function to baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of recipients and its decline.
Methods: In this study 91 LD kidney transplantations performed between 2007 and 2015 were included.

Background: Traditionally, isotope nephrography is considered as the method of choice to assess kidney function parameters in nuclear medicine. We propose a novel approach to determine the split function (SF), mean transit time (MTT), and outflow efficiency (OE) with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) dynamic positron emission tomography (PET).
Materials And Methods: Healthy adult subjects underwent dynamic simultaneous FDG-PET and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the role of magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in preoperative diagnostic workup of children with hydronephrosis in a prospective clinical study with comparison of MRU, standard diagnostic investigations, and intraoperative findings.
Methods: Thirty-one children with hydronephrosis secondary to different causes underwent ultrasound scan (US), intravenous urography (IVU), micturation cysto-urethrography (MCU), isotope nephrography (ING) and MRU. For MRU the authors performed sagittal and coronal halve-Fourier SSFSE scans in a 1.

Purpose: Ureteroileal stricture after urinary diversion often has deleterious effects on the upper ureteral tract. A common ureteral implantation technique described by Le Duc et al has recently been criticized for a high rate of ureteral stricture. We assessed the rate of upper urinary tract dilatation and deterioration in 60 consecutive patients who underwent continent urinary diversion and ureteroileal anastomosis with a modified Le Duc procedure.
