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 ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Technetium-99m-Dimercaptosuccinic Acid Scintigraphy in Prediction of Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children with First-time Febrile Urinary Tract Infection
Background: Imaging modalities such as voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), direct radionuclide cystography (DRNC), and renal cortical scintigraphy (RCS) with technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99mDMSA), are helpful in detecting possible abnormalities of urinary tract such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). However, there are confounding data regarding the preference of these modalities. In ...

urinary tract infection is a common pediatric problem and vesicoureteral reflux is its most common complication. detection of this reflux has classically been achieved by voiding cystouretrography (vcug). ultrasonography for evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux is shown to be feasible but is not widely accepted. our aim was to assess the value of routine sonography in detecting vesicoureteral re...

متن کاملRenal ultrasound findings and vesicoureteral reflux in children hospitalised with urinary tract infection.
AIMS To determine the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of renal ultrasound findings for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). METHODS Retrospective review of the ultrasound and voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) results of 162 children under 5 years of age admitted with their first episode of urinary tract infection (UTI) over a two year period. Ultrasound findings were considered suggesti...
