Vesicoureteric reflux and timing of micturating cystourethrography after urinary tract infection.
OBJECTIVE To test the medical belief that the micturating cystourethrogram (MCU) be deferred four to six weeks after acute symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) because of the risk of falsely detecting vesicoureteric reflux if performed earlier. STUDY DESIGN A cross sectional analytic study of preschool children with first time symptomatic UTI. RESULTS Of the 284 eligible children, 272 ...
متن کاملEchocontrast cystosonography versus micturating cystourethrography in the detection of vesicoureteric reflux
PURPOSE To compare echocontrast cystosonography (ECS) using in-vivo agitated saline with fluoroscopic micturating cystourethrography (MCU) in the detection and grading of vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective study of 25 children, who had MCU between 2007 and 2009. ECS was performed and findings documented prior to MCU. Baseline renal and bladder sonograms ...
متن کاملPaediatric vesicoureteric reflux imaging: where are we? Novel ultrasound-based voiding urosonography.
Vesicoureteric reflux is an important association of paediatric urinary tract infection. Fluoroscopic micturating cystourethrography and radionuclide cystography have been employed for detecting and grading vesicoureteric reflux. However, both modalities involve ionising radiation, which can pose significant radiation risk to growing children. They also have a lower detection rate due to interm...
متن کاملVesicoureteric reflux: screening of first degree relatives.
Thirty three healthy infants and children with a family history of reflux nephropathy or vesicoureteric reflux in first degree relatives were screened for upper urinary tract abnormalities (renal scarring or pelvicaliceal dilatation) using ultrasound scanning or intravenous urography, or both. In addition, micturating cystourethrography was carried out in all infants and children under 2 years ...
متن کاملMR Voiding Cystourethrography (MRVC) for Vesicoureteric Reflux in unsedated infants
Introduction Vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) is a congenital disorder of the paediatric renal tract, which allows the retrograde passage of urine up to the renal pelvis, predisposing to renal infection and consequential scarring, hypertension and renal failure. The current gold standard for diagnosis is the Micturating Cystourethrogram (MCUG), allowing snap-shot imaging of the urethra, bladder and...
