Predicting Early Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection in Pretoilet Trained Children With Vesicoureteral Reflux

Abstract

Abnormal dimercapto-succinic acid renal scan is an important predictor of early recurrent urinary tract infection in pretoilet trained children with vesicoureteral reflux. Whether the explanation lies in congenital or infection related damage, in this patient subgroup careful clinical followup or early surgical management for reflux should be considered.
