The Significance of ^99m Technetium Dimercapto-Succinic Acid Renal Scan in Children With Spina Bifida During Long-Term Followup

Abstract

A positive vesicoureteral reflux history and febrile urinary tract infections were associated with abnormal dimercapto-succinic acid renal scan in followup of patients older than 10 years with spina bifida. Thus, these factors are indicators of proactive evaluation of renal function using dimercapto-succinic acid renal scanning.
