Does antenatal pelvic dilation predict renal scarring?
Moderate antenatal renal pelvic dilation (5-15 mm) may suggest vesicoureteric reflux, but it is not known to predict renal scarring. Dimercaptosuccinic acid scans on such children aged over 4 years showed a scarring rate (0/133 boys, 1/56 girls) similar to our local population. Investigation and treatment of moderate dilation may not be required.
متن کاملPupil dilation does not predict subsequent stability in perceptual rivalry.
What is the cause of perceptual switching of ambiguous stimuli? Although local competition between stimulus-specific representations can explain bistable perception dynamics (1), Einhäuser et al. (2) argue that norepinephrine (NE) release in the locus coeruleus (a nonperceptual structure) could play a critical role in perceptual bistability. They reported an NEmediated increase in pupil diamete...
متن کاملBacteriuria, reflux, and renal scarring
Much of the confusion in the discussion of these topics reflects differences of nomenclature not of fact, and a failure to relate the wide variation in severity both of reflux and of renal damage to their long-term implications. In this article, significant bacteriuria denotes the presence of actively multiplying organisms in the urinary tract and is indicated in girls by a pure growth of at le...
متن کاملRenal scarring and vesicoureteric reflux.
A review of 105 children with urinary tract infection showed an increasing prevalence of grades II-III vesicoureteric reflux with diminishing age. During infancy reflux was almost always severe, and affected boys as often as girls. Radiologically scarred kidneys were drained by refluxing ureters in 98% of cases. The prevalence of scars also rose significantly with increasinglyly severe reflux. ...
