THE IMPORTANCE OF 99M-TC DMSA RENAL SCINTIGRAPHY IN EVALUATION OF RENAL LESIONS IN CHILDREN WITH ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS

THE IMPORTANCE OF 99m-Tc DMSA RENAL SCINTIGRAPHY IN EVALUATION OF RENAL LESIONS IN CHILDREN WITH ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS

"nUrinary tract infection (UTI) may lead to irreversible changes in renal parenchyma.Early diagnosis using scintigraphy with technetium-99m-labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan and early treatment may decrease or prevent development of renal parenchymal lesions.The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of renal parenchymal lesi
