Abstract:
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in childhood specially in female. In this study ۵۰ patients with stablished diagnosis of UTI were evaluated by both renal scan with Tc-۹۹m DMSA and renal sonography. The study revealed that most urinary tract infections are in children, Female sex between ۵-۹ years of age. Therefore the most important complications (Renal scarring) are also common in this age-sex distribution. Occurance of renal scars increase with increasing the number of recurrent infections. Vesicoureteral reflux is one of the most improtant, common risk factors for renal scarring. Renal Tc-۹۹m DMSA scan is more sensitive than renal sonography in detecting the renal scars.
