... was to define the clinical, laboratory, and radiological features of patients with their first febrile UTI and to investigate the factors that might predict the presence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and renal scarring. Methods: The files of patients who were followed due to their first febrile UTI between...

... (RCD) in 9 and multiple RCD in 16 (including nonvisualization in 2). Of the 11 kidneys with normal findings or single RCD on DMSA-SPECT, only 1 (9%) showed vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) on VCU (grade I). A large proportion of those with multiple RCDs showed abnormal findings on IVP (44%, 7/16), US (38...

... of 48 patients with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). And also, urinary excretion of N-acetyl-β- D -glucosaminidase (NAG), β 2 -microglobulin (β 2 -MG), microalbumin (Alb) and creatinine (Cr) were measured. There was no significant correlation in any of the pairs ET-1 and NAG, ET-1 and β 2 -MG...

...Robert W. Bradsher; William J. Flanigan Vesicoureteral reflux has been considered as a predisposing factor to the development of urinary infection in adults. In renal transplant patients, it has been suggested as a risk factor for graft failure. We report a patient with a normal voiding...

...) and 83 postpubertal patients (43 males and 40 females) to elucidate the effect of age and gender in the progression of renal damage. Vesicoureteral reflux was resolved in all patients at least two years before enrollment into this study. Renal scarring was diagnosed with 99m technetium dimercaptosuccinic...

... systems is one of the possible mechanisms of the progression of reflux nephropathy. In this study, the implication of ACE gene polymorphism in renal scarring and deterioration of renal function was analyzed in 66 children with vesicoureteral reflux. The genotype for the polymorphism was determined by PCR...
