Abstract

The serum creatinine level, excretory urogram, endogenous creatinine clearance value, urine culture and method of drainage of urine of 116 patients with spinal cord injury were examined and compared. The serum creatinine value was found to be poor indicators of renal deterioration in these patients. Combination of bilateral reflux and suprapubic drainage resulted in a greater degree of renal damage, but no reflux with intermittent catheterization group had a good result.
