Recurrent urinary tract infections in young children: Role of DMSA scan for detecting vesicoureteric reflux

Comparison of diagnosis of VUR nephropathy by urinary level of ceruloplasmin with DMSA-Scan in children

Background: Children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) are at risk of recurrent pyelonephritis, kidney scars, hypertension, and renal failure. Currently, VUR complications can be diagnosed by different imaging methods such as sonography, intravenous pyelography and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan, having certain limitations. Urinary level of ceruloplasmin (Cp) might be an effective non-radio...

[Efficacy and safety profile of cranberry in infants and children with recurrent urinary tract infection].

OBJECTIVE Cranberry prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infection in infants has proven effective in the experimental model of the adult. There are few data on its efficacy, safety and recommended dose in the pediatric population. METHODS A controlled, double-blind Phase III clinical trial was conducted on children older than 1 month of age to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cranberry ...

the value of renal scintigraphy with dmsa for assessing vesicoureteral reflux in children with suspected urinary tract infection

background renal scintigraphy with technetium 99m labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mtc-dmsa) is a traditional imaging technique commonly used to detect renal scar in patients with probable vesicoureteral reflux (vur) and/or urinary tract infection (utis). we determined whether normal results of dmsa renal scan obviate the need for voiding cystourethrography (vcug) in evaluating children with ...
