The diagnostic value of magnetic resonance urography for detecting ureteric obstruction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Conclusions: These findings suggested a relatively high diagnostic value of MRU for detecting ureteric obstruction. Moreover, the diagnostic accuracy of MRU in adults was higher than in children. Key messagesMRU in detecting ureteric obstruction has relatively better sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, DOR, and AUC.The diagnostic value, including specificity, PLR, and AUC of MRU in adults, was higher than in children, while the sensitivity of MRU in adults was lower than in children.
