Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how early imaging features related to posterior urethral valves (PUV) in children can predict the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and potential renal failure. !* -
- Researchers analyzed data from 274 children diagnosed with PUVs to identify factors such as vesicoureteral reflux and nadir creatinine that correlate with CKD progression over an average follow-up of nearly 6 years. !* -
- Results indicated that the presence of vesicoureteral reflux and a low nadir creatinine level in the first year of life significantly predicted CKD progression, highlighting the usefulness of these early measurements in assessing future renal function. !*
Purpose Of Review: Traditional surgical management for urinary incontinence and vesicoureteral reflux often requires complex reconstructive surgery and extended hospitalizations. Since the introduction of endoscopic bulking agents in 1973, there has been increasing interest in the use of endoscopic injection (EI) and bulking for the treatment of a variety of pediatric urologic disorders. The purpose of this review is to summarize the most recent literature addressing the use of bulking agents in pediatric urology.
