Dilated kidney. Coloured X-ray of the abdomen of a 38-year-old woman who has been given an intravenous pyelogram (injection of a contrast medium into the renal veins) that shows a dilated right renal pelvis (green, upper right). The renal pelvis is part of the kidney. Renal pelvis dilation (RPD) is usually due to hydronephrosis, where urine does not drain properly from a kidney. This is usually due to a blockage of the ureters that drain urine to the bladder. This X-ray shows the patient's body as seen from the rear. | |
