The clinical effects of routinely imaging the renal tract (by intravenous urography and ultrasonography) were evaluated prospectively in 128 consecutive patients with prostatism. Patients with haematuria, previous renal disease, or infection were excluded. Urologists completed a standard questionnaire in the patient's notes stating the diagnosis and the intended management. The patient then had...
