Acute pyelonephritis and renal abscesses in adults--correlating clinical parameters with radiological (computer tomography) severity.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlations between clinical and biochemical parameters with radiological severity of CT diagnosed acute pyelonephritis (APN) and renal abscesses, thereafter defining clinical predictors to identify patients with severe APN or renal abscesses. MATERIALS AND METHODS The inpatient medical records of all patients diagnosed with APN or renal ...
متن کاملrenal power doppler ultrasonographic evaluation of children with acute pyelonephritis
urinary tract infections are common in children. the available gold standard method for diagnosis, tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scan is expensive and exposes patients to considerable amount of radiation. this study was performed to compare and assess the efficacy of power doppler ultrasound versus tc-99m dmsa scan for diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. a quasi experimental study was conducted...
متن کاملDoppler ultrasonography in children with acute pyelonephritis in diagnosis of renal scar compared to DMSA scintigraphy
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most important pediatric health problems, which is occasionally associated with irreversible renal damage. Dimercapto-succinic acid (DMSA) scan is a diagnostic standard for the renal scar. Doppler ultrasonography (D.S) has been considered as a less invasive method. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity ...

متن کاملRisk factors of renal scars in children with acute pyelonephritis.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the association between previously documented risk factors such as recurrent pyelonephritis with the incidence of renal scarring after acute pyelonephritis in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS Children with acute pyelonephritis who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of a teaching hospital during 2007-2009 were enrolled in this study. DM...
