Abstract

A pathohistologic change on the pyelouretheral junction, in the sense of a congenital collagenosis, occurs in congenital hydronephrosis. The development of secondary changes on renal pelvis and the occurrrence of hydronephrosis is due to the different degree i.e. seriousness of the congenital change. A significant correlation among different degrees of hydronephrosis, according to the urographic findings obtained, and pathohistologic changes on the pyelouretheral junction and renal pelvis is evident. (p<0.05 correlation coefficient 0.65) Loading urography helps discovering minimal i.e. initial changes on the renal pelvis, the so called latent hydronephrosis. Thus, surgical treatment is supported to avoid soon enough a more serious degree of hydronephrosis and the damage of renal function. Following the urographic findings, the degree of a pathohistologic damage can be already preoperatively evaluated. This is due to a significant correspondence between the hydronephrosis degree obtained by urography and the specific seriousness of pathohistologic changes on the pyelouretheral segment and pelvis preparations.
