5.2.6 Whitaker's test
Whitaker's test is carried out as an optional antegrade pressure flow study if diagnosis of obstruction is obscure. The measurement involves continuous perfusion of the renal pelvis via a percutaneous puncture or, if necessary, nephrostomy. Shortcomings of Whitaker's test are the unphysiologically high perfusion rate, lack of normal ranges in children, dependence on the examiner and the invasiveness of the procedure.
