A Kotoula, S Gardikis, A Tsalkidis, E Mantadakis… - Urology, 2009 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVES: To compare the reliability of procalcitonin (PCT) with conventional laboratory
parameters in predicting for renal parenchymal inflammation (RPI). METHODS: The study
cohort consisted of 57 children who were admitted for a first-episode urinary tract infection.
All patients underwent measurement of the leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate
(ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum PCT. RPI was evaluated by technetium-99m
dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy within 7 days of admission. If the first DMSA …
