摘要
Ultrasound accurately detects hydronephrosis in infants and children, while nuclear medicine techniques quantify relative renal function in addition to characterizing the urodynamic relevance of hydronephrosis. This prospective study was undertaken to examine the relationship between ultrasound morphological findings and relative renal function, quantified with dynamic technetium-99m mercaptotriacetylglycine imaging, in the initial diagnostic workup of children with unilateral hydronephrosis. The ultrasound grade of hydronephrosis and relative renal function ipsilateral to the hydronephrosis were inversely related, indicating that with more severe hydronephrosis ultrasound fails to estimate the potential reduction of relative kidney function. Because renal function is not necessarily affected by hydronephrosis, renal scintigraphy is indicated to assess the functional status of hydronephrotic kidneys.
