Complications of XXXX during retrograde urethrography.

@entity1494 @entity548 @entity235 @entity4 @entity811 @entity2335 @entity293
A severe, @entity2335 that resulted in macroscopic @entity811 occurred in 8 of 20 healthy @entity235 undergoing a series of diagnostic tests. Four of the remaining 12 @entity235 had mild @entity1494 consisting of @entity4 and @entity548 . Nine of the 20 @entity235 developed @entity293 after the procedures. These complications seemed associated with the radiographic technique of retrograde urethrography performed when the urinary bladder was distended. To test this hypothesis, retrograde urethrography was performed on 5 additional @entity235 . With the bladder undistended, no complications occurred. However, distention of these same @entity235 ' bladders for 1 minute or less with sterile lactated Ringer's solution administered through a Foley catheter in the penile urethra resulted in a macroscopic @entity811 in all 5 @entity235 which persisted for 24 hours. A microscopic @entity811 continued for 5 days. One @entity235 developed a @entity293 . A severe fibrinopurulent @entity2335 was present at necropsy of 2 @entity235 2 days after distention. The morphologic changes in the bladder gradually diminished over 7 days, but mild @entity4 and @entity548 were still present when 2 @entity235 were necropsied, 7 days after distention. These studies indicated that retrograde urethrography in @entity235 may be complicated by @entity2335 and @entity293 if performed with @entity1494 .
