In hydronephrosis from pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction (idiopathic or congenital hydronephrosis), which of the following statements are false?

A
The condition may be asymptomatic
B
It can be diagnosed in utero
C
Ultrasound scanning is the least invasive method of imaging
D
If there is more than 5 per cent of function in the obstructed kidney, a procedure to preserve the kidney is carried out
High-Yield Explanation
Isotope renography is the best test to establish that dilatation is caused by obstruction. It would also determine the percentage function of the kidney. A procedure to preserve the kidney is carried out when a renogram shows that there is more than 20 per cent of renal function. The operation of choice is Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty, a procedure which is now being carried out laparoscopically.
