AbstractSonography seems in patients with acute renal failure a reliable method for diagnosing urinary tract obstruction, giving the kidney size and localizing the kidney for percutaneous drainage. Percutaneous nephrostomy is actually the best temporary derivation for patients with obstructive anuria before definitive treatment. 18 cases of obstructive anuria are reviewed. Urinary lithiasis is the main aetiology (13/18). 11 of our patient had undergone percutaneous nephrostomy as a first step of their treatment.
