Establishment of an animal model of reversible chronic Partial obstructive hydronephrosis

Abstract

The establishment of an animal model of reversible chronic partial obstruction hydronephrosis was reported. The continuous ultrasonographic and pathological investigation demonstrated that this model fulfilled all the requirements, especially the reversibility. The technique is a relatively simple and reliable method.
