Despite the availability of such procedures as the differential analysis of the urine from each kidney, aortography, renal biopsy, etc., none of these have proven to be infallible in predicting which patients subjected to surgery will be benefited. As a consequence of this lack of a precise diagnostic criterion for the selection of patients, many are unnecessarily subjected to...References1.
