Popis: BACKGROUND: Most congenital anomalies of the urinary tract present with hydronephrosis. Some are physiological while others pathological. Ultrasound, micturating cyst urethrography, dynamic renal scintigraphy, intravenous urography, dynamic and static magnetic resonance urography are used for examination. Currently, renal arterial Doppler resistance index is used as complimentary mechanism. This study assesses our experience in resistive index measurement in differentiating obstructive from non-obstructive hydronephrosis in children.METHODS: A cross-sectional study of forty-two infants and children (
