Renal scintigraphy in infants with antenatally diagnosed renal pelvis dilatation.
BACKGROUND/AIM Ureteropelvic junction obstruction and vesicoureteral reflux are the most frequent entities identified on the basis of antenatal hydronephrosis. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and pattern of abnormal renal scintigraphy findings in postnatal investigation of children with antenatal hydronephrosis. METHODS Twenty-four infants (19 boys and five girls) present...
متن کاملProspective study of outcome in antenatally diagnosed renal pelvis dilatation.
AIMS To ascertain the outcome associated with antenatal renal pelvis dilatation; to recommend guidelines for postnatal investigation and determine an upper limit of normal for the anterioposterior dimensions of the fetal renal pelvis. METHODS Infants whose antenatal ultrasound scan showed a fetal renal pelvis of 5 mm or greater were investigated using postnatal renal tract ultrasound and a mi...
متن کاملMild fetal renal pelvis dilatation: much ado about nothing?
BACKGROUND Renal pelvis dilatation (RPD) occurs in 1% of fetuses. Severe RPD (>15 mm) is frequently associated with urinary tract pathology. For the majority with mild (5 to 9 mm) to moderate (10 to 15 mm) RPD, however, there is uncertainty about the risk of abnormalities and how much postnatal investigation is required. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review of cohort studies of fetuses with RPD < o...
متن کاملThe type and frequency of fetal renal disorders and management of renal pelvis dilatation.
OBJECTIVE This study describes the frequency of sonographically detected fetal renal disorders, the correlation of fetal renal pelvis dilatation (RPD) with the need for postnatal surgery, and proposed management of RPD. METHODS The study population consisted of 342 fetuses with prospectively identified isolated renal abnormalities and known follow-up. Fetuses with RPD were considered separate...
متن کاملRenal cortical scintigraphy and diuresis renography in infants and children.
Renal scintigraphy is performed frequently in infants and children. Renal cortical scintigraphy using 99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid is predominantly performed to assess the renal sequelae of urinary tract infection. It is most commonly performed for the evaluation of chronic renal scars, although it is also undertaken in the assessment of acute pyelonephritis. Diuresis renography using 99mTc me...
