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 ...
متن کاملEarly detection of renal scarring in children with suspected pyelonephritis: Comparison of diuretic MAG3 scintigraphy (F0) and DMSAScan
Abstract Background: Screening for patients at risk of renal scarring is a challenge in children with acute pyelonephritis (APN). Diuretic Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) scintigraphy with zero time injection of furosemide (MAG3-F0) was observed to display focal parenchymal disorders. The advantages of MAG3 include: lower radiation dose and short duration of the test. The aim of this st...
متن کاملاهمیت پروگنوستیک اسکن DMSA در کودکان بستری مبتلا به عفونت دستگاه ادراری
Background: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the major etiological factors of permanent kidney impairment, resulting in renal scarring and severe and pernicious side effects, such as arterial hypertension and renal failure. The purpose of this study was to clarify the impression of renal parenchyma involvement by first UTI (on the basis of acute DMSA scan) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR-...
متن کاملEffects of Betamethasone and Gentamicin on Renal Scarring Induced by Mannose-Sensitive E Coli Pyelonephritis in Rat
Background: Pyelonephritis can lead to renal scar. Objective: To evaluate the effects of betamethasone in preventing renal scarring in rat model of pyelonephritis. Methods: Sixty three female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into seven groups. Group A was the control. Mannose-sensitive E coli was directly inoculated into the left kidney exposed under general anesthesia in groups C–G. Group B re...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of mean platelet volume (MPV) in differentiating pyelonephritis from acute cystitis in children with urinary tract infection
Diagnostic value of mean platelet volume (MPV) in differentiating pyelonephritis from acute cystitis in children with urinary tract infection Abstract Background and aims: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial and frequently recurring infection during childhood particularly in the first 3 months of earlier life that can be involved upper UTI (pyelonephritis) and ...
