Purpose: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the important infectious diseases childhood age. It causes serious late-term complications by leading to development renal scarring in some pediatric patients. In present study, it was aimed determine risk factors damage patients that admitted with clinical acute pyelonephritis. Materials and methods: our medical files were nephrology polyclinic ...

INTRODUCTION In 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended perform a renal ultrasonography and avoiding cystourethrography to all infants between 2 and 24 months of age after their first urinary tract infection (UTI). In 2011, the AAP restricted voiding cystourethrography to children with a pathological ultrasonography, recurrent and/ or atypical infections. Our objective was to...

introduction: vesico-urethral reflux (vur) is the most common complication of urinary-tract infection (uti). detecting vur has been classically achieved by voiding cystourethrography (vcug). radionuclide cystography will detect vur, but fails to provide the same detailed anatomical information as vcug. this study designed to compare the irc and vcug. materials & methods: this study has been don...

  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...

Abstract Background Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is an essential urogenital entity affecting infants and younger children. Many patients present late with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), which lead to chronic pyelonephritis, renal scarring, end-stage disease (ESRD). This progression in adds significant morbidity mortality the paediatric age group. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) inv...

A 5-year-old child was referred to our department with a clinical history of urinary incontinence, dysuria and urinary tract infections. Physical examination (abdomen and genitalia) was unremarkable. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed the presence of a left duplicated system (Figure 1A) with normal bladder (Figure 1B). Antenatal history was unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdome...

PURPOSE We describe various clinical presentations of urethral diverticulum, which may mimic other pelvic floor disorders and result in diagnostic delay. Management and outcome results are reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed retrospectively 46 consecutive cases of urethral diverticulum. Patient characteristics, history, clinical evaluation, management and long-term followup are report...

To revise the clinical guideline for childhood urinary tract infections (UTIs) of the Korean Society of Pediatric Nephrology (2007), the recently updated guidelines and new data were reviewed. The major revisions are as follows. In diagnosis, the criterion for a positive culture of the catheterized or suprapubic aspirated urine is reduced to 50,000 colony forming uits (CFUs)/mL from 100,000 CFU...
