Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the impact of non-refluxing hydroureter on the initial management of high-grade hydronephrosis (HGH) management. Moreover, we evaluated the occurrence of febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI) and surgical intervention for conservatively managed units.

Methods: Patients' charts with postnatal hydronephrosis from 2008-2014 were retrospectively reviewed.

Objective: To evaluate the utility of hydroureter (HU) to identify high-grade vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) in patients with high-grade postnatal hydronephrosis (PH).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients' charts that had antenatal hydronephrosis from 2008 to 2014. Patients were excluded if they presented with febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI), neurogenic bladder, posterior urethral valve, multi-cystic dysplastic kidney, and multiple congenital malformations.

Objectives: We evaluated the feasibility and value of renal pyramidal thickness (PT) as a predictor of pyeloplasty in high-grade postnatal hydronephrosis.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who presented with postnatal hydronephrosis from 2008 to 2013. Included cases had grade 3 or 4 hydronephrosis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the reliability and validity of the Urinary Tract Dilation classification system as a new method for grading postnatal hydronephrosis.
  • A review of patient charts from 2008 to 2013 included 490 patients, and the Urinary Tract Dilation system was found to be highly reliable for assessing hydronephrosis.
  • Results showed that while 49% of cases resolved without intervention, the Urinary Tract Dilation system effectively predicted the need for surgical intervention, indicating its usefulness in clinical settings.
