Early Detection of Urinary Tract Anomaly - Prevention of Kidney Failure in Children (Case Report)
Journal Title: Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the numerous reasons for chronic kidney insufficiency among children is congenital anomaly of the urinary tract. Such anomalies are detected in the antenatal stage with echo sonography, but most of them are detected after birth, too. Some of them are placid and there is no need to operate on them, but some of them are serious, so, unless detected on time, they may lead to progressive decline of the kidney parenchyma. This refers to the obstructive anomalies that are mostly correctible through surgery. In our case, we would like to point out to the need of an echo sonography examination of the urinary tract (UT) among every child in the breastfeeding period, because the clinical manifestations and diseases in general are unusual at this age, but also to highlight the great significance of early detection and timely surgery.
