Abstract
The diagnostic role of retrograde pyelography in children with secondary hypertension has never been discussed in the literature. We report a child with severe hypertension, who apparently has a normal renin level and a solitary kidney by renal sonography and renal scan. Retrograde pyelography was able to identify the scarred renal mass. To our knowledge this is the first report to discuss the role of retrograde pyelography in a child with a solitary kidney and severe hypertension.Entities:
