Urinary NGF, TGF-β1, TIMP-2 and Bladder Wall Thickness Predict Neurourological Findings in Children with Myelodysplasia

Abstract

Urine markers and bladder wall thickness measurement may predict urinary tract impairment in children with myelodysplasia. Such markers may differentiate at risk patients with either renal scarring or high detrusor leak point pressure, and decrease the need for urodynamics and renal scintigraphy.
