Abstract
Pathological renal mobility can cause a functional disorder, which is an indication for nephropexy. The aim of this study was to examine functional renal capacity before and after nephropexy applying radionuclide tests and to compare the results with objective and clinical parameters. The study included 86 patients who underwent nephropexy. Dynamic renal scintigraphy in lying and sitting position as well as static scintigraphy were performed before and after the surgical treatment. The results of those examinations confirmed a considerable post-operative rise in functional capacity of the mobile kidney in orthostatic position after nephropexy. Renal mobility disappeared as well as orthostatic pain, and UTIs and orthostatic hypertension have become less frequent.
