BACKGROUND: To our knowledge, the risk of renal scarring in children with a urinary tract
infection (UTI) has not been systematically studied. OBJECTIVE: To review the prevalence of …

Importance No studies have systematically examined the accuracy of clinical, laboratory,
and imaging variables in detecting renal scarring in children and adolescents with a first …

PURPOSE: The pathophysiology, evaluation, description and clinical implications of renal
damage associated with vesicoureteral reflux remain controversial. We summarized the …

OBJECTIVE. Pediatric patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) undergo imaging tests to
detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in the belief that VUR correlates to risk of renal scarring …

Background There is considerable interest in detecting vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) because
its presence, especially when severe, has been linked to an increased risk of urinary tract …

We assessed the role of therapeutic delay time (TDT) in acute renal cortical scintigraphic
lesion (ASL) and ultimate scar formation (USF) in children with first febrile UTI and whether it …

Purpose: We prospectively determined the risk factors for renal scar formation after the first
episode of acute pyelonephritis as confirmed on dimercapto-succinic acid scintigraphy in …

The current management of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) focuses on the prevention of urinary
tract infections (UTI), with curative surgery being limited to those children that fail …

Purpose: We assessed predictive factors for acute renal cortical scintigraphic lesion and
ultimate scar formation in children with a first febrile urinary tract infection. Materials and …

Background Selection of the appropriate radiologic investigation in a child after first febrile
urinary tract infection (UTI) remains a contentious issue. This report investigated the …
