UNLABELLED: There is great variation in technique and interpretation of diuresis renography between different establishments. METHODS: To address this problem, an International Consensus Committee was appointed by the Ninth International Symposium on Radionuclides in Nephrourology in 1994. RESULTS: The final document was produced and addressed: objectives, equipment, data acquisition, choice of radiopharmaceutical, patient preparation, position, dosage of furosemide, timing of furosemide, role of bladder catheter, duration of study, pediatric considerations, evaluation of the furosemide response, interpretation, and conclusion. CONCLUSION: The report presents a standardized approach to diuresis renography that, if adopted, will improve reproducibility between centers, discourage unacceptable practice and stimulate further discussion between nuclear medicine and urology health care professionals who treat patients with dilated and obstructed upper urinary tracts.
