In children with urinary tract infection reduced kidney length and vesicoureteric reflux predict abnormal DMSA scan

Background null To evaluate sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively) of renal ultrasonography (US) in predicting renal uptake defects or reduced renal function at Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan (primary outcome). We also evaluated which factors could be associated with Tc-99m DMSA renal scan anomalies. null Methods null We retrospectively included all the patients with...
