Diagnostic Value Of Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Urography In Childhood Obstructive Kidney Diseases
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY MEDICINE - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the functional value of dynamic magnetic resonance urography (MRU) for the diagnosis of pediatric urinary system diseases, to establish the accuracy of dynamic MRU in determination of obstructive pathologies.Materials and methods: A Total of 33 patients that were evaluated with diuretic renal scintigraphy (DRS) either before or after dynamic MRU examination were included in the study. Their age varied from 1 month to 18 years (mean age was 7.03 years). Accepting DRS as the standard test for diagnosis of obstruction, sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive and negative predictive values of dynamic MRU were calculated.Results: In order to find whether there was a functional difference between dynamic MRU and DRS measurement results, dependent t-test for paired samples was used .There was no statistically significant difference between (p = 0.978) in split renal function(SRF) results which calculated from dynamic MRU and DRS examinations. Conclusions: We found a very strong and highly significant correlation and consistency between dynamic MRU and DRS methods in terms of evaluation of renal functions. Dynamic MRU is 100% effective for discrimination of normal and abnormal kidneys in terms of excretion.
