Abstract
An unusual case stimulated investigation of radiographic changes in renal axis resulting from respiratory excursion. Prospective study of 20 "routine" excretory urograms revealed no statistically significant differences in renal axis whether the film was taken in full expiration or inspiration. Clinical implications and a review of pertinent literature are discussed.
