Renal structure quantitative characteristics in different morphological groups of adult patients with congenital hydronephrosis

Abstract

30 patients with congenital hydronephrosis were divided into two groups according to the degree of morphological changes. The first group consisted of 12 men with age from 23 to 57 years; the second one – of 18 men with age from 21 to 61 years.We did morphometry studying of kidney structure main parameters and proved an important role of vessel malformation – it was the background for secondary morphological changes, which were more expressed in the second patient group. Intraparenchymal vessel Doppler sonography study correlated with congenital morphological changes.Therefore Doppler sonography confirmed an important role of vessel malformation in congenital hydronephrosis and secondary morphological changes development without the correlation between these processes and age of the patients.
