Acute phase 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid scan in infants with first episode of febrile urinary tract infection.
BACKGROUND 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan is the golden standard for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis and renal scaring. We investigated the use of acute phase DMSA scan in infants presented promptly to the hospital because of the first episode of their febrile urinary tract infection (UTI). METHODS Ninety-eight infants with microbiologically confirmed first episode of febrile...
متن کاملDiagnostic significance of 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy in urinary tract infection.
A total of 106 children with symptomatic urinary tract infection (73 girls and 33 boys, 0-15.9 years of age) were studied by means of a dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan, renal ultrasound, and a desmopressin test during infection and at follow up approximately two months later. At follow up they were also investigated by means of intravenous urography (IVU) and micturition cystourethrography ...
متن کاملEarly dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan in children with first febrile urinary tract infection.
OBJECTIVE To determine use of early Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy in screening for vesicoureteral reflux following first febrile urinary tract infection. METHODS 43 children (1 mo-5 yr) with first febrile urinary tract infection underwent micturating cystourethrography, abdominal sonogram and early dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy. RESULTS Early dimercaptosuccinic acid sci...
متن کامل99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan in patients with established radiological renal scarring.
The findings on 99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scans were examined in 54 patients aged 3 to 33 years in whom renal scarring had been diagnosed radiologically in childhood after urinary tract infection. There was no recent history of infection. Vesicoureteric reflux had been present in 48 patients and had stopped in 23 at the time of the DMSA scan. In six of the 72 radiologically scarred k...
