1. Nonobstructive hydronephrosis and hydroureter are caused by urinary tract infection.
2. The dilatation appears to be caused by reflux ileus and discrepancy between the flow and emptying rates of the renal conduits.
3. Clinical correlation of the pressures of the collecting conduits with the dilatation cannot be made.
4. Reflux increases and accentuates the dilatation.
5. Infectious, nonobstructive dilatation may disappear after antibiotic treatment.
