چکیده

urinary tract infections are common in children. the available gold standard method for diagnosis, tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scan is expensive and exposes patients to considerable amount of radiation. this study was performed to compare and assess the efficacy of power doppler ultrasound versus tc-99m dmsa scan for diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. a quasi experimental study was conducted on 34 children with mean age of 2.82.7 years who were hospitalized with their first episode of febrile urinary tract infection. all children were evaluated in the first 3 days of admission by doppler ultrasound and tc-99m dmsa scan. patients with congenital structural anomalies were excluded. each kidney was divided into three zones. the comparison between efficacy of doppler ultrasound and dmsa scan was carried out based on number of patients and on classified renal units. based on the number of patients enrolled; the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and accuracy of doppler ultrasound were 89%, 53%, 70%, 80% and 74%, respectively but based on the renal units, it was 66%, 81%, 46%, 91% and 79% , respectively. although doppler ultrasound has the potential for identifying acute pyelonephritis in children, but it is still soon to replace dmsa scan.

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 ...

the importance of 99m-tc dmsa renal scintigraphy in evaluation of renal lesions in children with acute pyelonephritis

urinary tract infection (uti) may lead to irreversible changes in renal parenchyma. early diagnosis using scintigraphy with technetium-99 m -labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (dmsa) scan and early treatment may decrease or prevent development of renal parenchymal lesions. the aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of renal parenchymal lesion in children admitted with a first-time symptoma...
