Doppler 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 کاملThe value of scintigraphy in diagnosis of renal disease
Renal imaging with radioisotopes, or renal scintigraphy, allows the quantitative evaluation of renal function and urodynamics. Measurement of renal function provides essential information in various situations of clinical practice. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor renography makes it possible to detect patients with renovascular hypertension. Diuresis renography aids in differentiating u...
متن کاملRenal Scintigraphy Following Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibition in the Diagnosis of Renovascular Hypertension (Captopril Scintigraphy)
Renovascular hypertension (R VH) may be due to unilateral or bilateral stenosis of the main renal artery (RAS), branch arterial stenosis, whole kidney or focal renal infarction, aneurysms, or arteriovenous malformations. Other entities such as hydronephrosis, renal cysts, or neoplasms may produce high renal vein renin hypertension, but they do not belong to the classic group of causes of renova...
