The doppler color flow imaging method was employed to detect the vesicoureteral reflux. The ultrasound examination was performed by using the doppler color flow imaging system. Ultrasonic sector scan was carried out by the use of the 3.75 MHz phased array and/or conbex array transducer with a transabdominal approach. The flow in the bladder from the ureteral orifice to the bladder was detected ...

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the retrograde flow of urine from urinary bladder to the ureter and the kidney. It can be asymptomatic and resolve itself or be associated with urinary tract infections (UTI), leading to pyelonephritis and nephropathy, which may lead to the complications of renal scarring, renal insufficiency, and hypertension. Treatment is guided by grade of reflux and age of the...

introduction renal tubular acidosis (rta) is a non-uremic defects of urinary acidification. it is characterized by a normal anion gap hyperchloremic  metabolic acidosis; plasma potassium may be normal, low or high-depending on the type of rta. these syndromes differ from uremic acidosis which is associated with a high anion gap, decreased glomerular filtration with enhanced proton secretion by ...

PURPOSE Aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer and polyacrylate polyalcohol copolymer in endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteral reflux disease in adult patients with and without chronic renal failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty two patients (12 female, 20 male) with a total of 50 renal units were treated for vesicoureteral reflux. There we...

urinary tract infection (uti) may lead to irreversible changes in renal parenchyma. early diagnosis using scintigraphy with technetium-99 m -labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (dmsa) scan and early treatment may decrease or prevent development of renal parenchymal lesions. the aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of renal parenchymal lesion in children admitted with a first-time symptoma...

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...

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the retrograde passage of urine from the bladder to the upper urinary tract. It is the most common congenital urological anomaly affecting 1-2% of children and 30-40% of patients with urinary tract infections. VUR is a major risk factor for pyelonephritic scarring and chronic renal failure in children. It is the result of a shortened intravesical ureter with an en...
