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...

vesicoureteral reflux (vur) is a relatively common and important entity in children. vur can expose patient to risk of pyelonephritis, permanent renal damage or scar. vur itself has no deleterious effect on kidney parenchyma until the development of infection or increased intravesical pressure.   the diagnosis of vur could lead to appropriate therapy and prevention of long term complications. t...

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 ...

Voiding cystourethrograms (VCUG) are often considered in the evaluation of infants with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI), but there few additional clear indications for performing them outside recurrent UTI itself. Hydronephrosis and scarring on kidney ultrasound (US) included several guidelines from consensus organizations, including those American Academy Pediatrics (AAP), National Insti...

Background: Imaging modalities such as voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), direct radionuclide cystography (DRNC), and renal cortical scintigraphy (RCS) with technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99mDMSA), are helpful in detecting possible abnormalities of urinary tract such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). However, there are confounding data regarding the preference of these modalities. In ...

urinary tract infection is a common pediatric problem and vesicoureteral reflux is its most common complication. detection of this reflux has classically been achieved by voiding cystouretrography (vcug). ultrasonography for evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux is shown to be feasible but is not widely accepted. our aim was to assess the value of routine sonography in detecting vesicoureteral re...
