Changes in Renal Size by Infusion of Contrast Agent and Furosemide

• Choi NG

Abstract

Changes in renal size by infusion of contrast agent and furosemide were studied in normal adult kidneys. Renal sizes were measured in simple, 5, 15, 25, and 45 minutes films, in Group I, which was performed IVP with Hypaque and Group II, which was performed IVP with Hypaque and furosemide infusion. 1. Kidney size Simple film : Group I : 12.22+/-0.61cm Group II : 12.19+/-0.75cm 15min. film : Group I : 12.67(0.89%) Group II : 13. 49+/-0.63cm Maximal increase in size : Group I: 0.41cm Group II : 1. 30cm 2. Possible application to unilateral renovascular disease: Enhancement of renal size difference in unilateral renovascular hypertension.
