Background: Assessment of renal lesions and deficiency accurately remains critical in the diagnosis congenital anomalies kidneys urinary tracts (CAKUT) children. Advanced imaging such as Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) Diffusion weighted (DWI) allows structural functional insufficiency to be detected. Currently, radiomics machine learning models are being explored full-automated diagnostic too...

AIMS Intravesical instillation of oxybutynin is an accepted and effective treatment in children with neuropathic bladder-sphincter dysfunction, when oral oxybutynin results in inadequate suppression of detrusor overactivity or intolerable side effects. However, as yet no data are available on long-term use and outcome. METHODS A patient cohort with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia that started ...

INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs in 1.1% of girls and 1.4% of boys during the first year of life. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) is usually detected incidentally in 0.9% of girls and 2.5% of boys at this age. The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of measurement of pro-inflammatory urine interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 concentrations and anti-inflammatory transforming gr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anatomical and functional renal alterations and the association with post-traumatic arterial hypertension. METHODS The studied population included patients who sustained high grades renal injury (grades III to V) successfully non-operative management after staging by computed tomography over a 16-year period. Beyond the review of medical records, these patients were ...

Ureteral duplication associated with ectopic ureteral insertion is a rare congenital anomaly clinically more common in females. Early urinary incontinence the main symptom of ectopy first childhood these patients. Contrast computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are most effective methods to rule out or confirm diagnosis duplication. In cases where significant surgical functions perf...

Introduction. Leukocyte count, erythrocyte sediment rate and C-reactive protein are available laboratory markers which may be helpful in prediction of technetium Tc 99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scintigraphy results. None of these, however, have enough accuracy for prediction of renal injury and scar. This study was aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of urinary β2-microglobuli...

Meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA, or succimer) is an oral chelating agent for heavy-metal poisoning. While studying the urinary elimination of unaltered DMSA, altered DMSA (i.e., its mixed disulfides), and lead in children with lead poisoning, we observed a pattern of urinary drug elimination after meals suggestive of enterohepatic circulation. The excretion of lead in urine patterned the...
