Abstract
In an ‘at random study’, 70 per cent. of 46 patients treated conservatively (without by-pass operations) revealed normal excretory pyelograms. Seventy-five per cent. of 92 kidneys were normal. The ages of these myelodysplasia patients ranged from five months to 37 years. A plea is made for continuous life-time periodic urological examinations of these patients.
