Evaluation of neonatal hydronephrosis with diuretic renography
The common use of maternal ultrasonography has increased the apparent incidence of neonatal hydronephrosis. Many of these cases are found to have partial obstruction at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). These patients are safely managed in our institution with careful observation and only occasionally require surgical intervention. The authors present two contrastin...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of infantile ureteropelvic junction obstruction by diuretic renography.
Infantile hydronephrosis detected by ultrasonography poses a clinical dilemma on how to treat the condition. This article reports a retrospective study to evaluate infantile hydronephrosis due to suspected ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction by means of standardized diuretic renography and to speculate its usefulness for quantitative assessment and management of this condition. Between Nov...
متن کاملDiuretic effect on the measurement of differential renal function using 99mTc-DMSA in patients with hydronephrosis [Persian]
Introduction: It has been suggested that calculation of differential renal function (DRF) using 99mTc-DMSA may lead to overestimation of the function of an obstructed kidney. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diuretic administration on the determination of DRF using 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy in patients with dilated pelvis. Methods: Thirty three patients, aged from 2 month...
متن کاملCan renal doppler sonography replace diuretic radionuclide renography in infants with hydronephrosis?
Reliable differentiation between obstructive and non-obstructive hydronephrosis is decisive for the further therapeutic management in infants. The results of renal Doppler sonography were compared with diuretic radionuclide renography and with the follow-up results in 33 patients (range: 21 to 98 days). In Doppler sonography, a resistive index (RI) of > 0.9 was considered to be abnormal in the ...
متن کاملAntenatal diagnosis of pelvic hydronephrosis: assessment of renal function and drainage as a guide to management.
The optimal management of children with antenatally diagnosed unilateral hydronephrotic kidneys is unclear. We have monitored renal function and drainage using 99mTc-DTPA renography in 77 children with such kidneys presenting at 1-14 mo of age with the aims of throwing light on the natural history of the condition and evaluating the response of the kidney to pyeloplasty. Since management was in...
