- PreviewWe read with interest the article by Abbas et al. [1] on functional recoverability in poorly functioning kidney (PFK) with uretero pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) following pyeloplasty. The authors have included all units with less than 30% differential renal function (DRF), whereas the actual controversy lies in those with <10% DRF. Sarhan et al. [2] have reported good recovery in units with <20% DRF, however the median age in their study was only 2 years. We have earlier shown that infants demonstrated better functional recovery following pyeloplasty [3,4].
