For each patient, the increase in renal pelvis diameter after furosemide injection during MRU was measured on the obstructed and contralateral healthy sides. Measurements were compared to determine a pathological cutoff. The change in renal pelvis diameter was also compared according to etiology (intrinsic vs. extrinsic).
