  2. 1. 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy in the diagnosis and follow-up of acute pyelonephritis in children

    Author : Lena Wallin; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; progressive renal damage; kidney length; kidney radioactive uptake; pyelonephritis; DMSA-scintigraphy; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to define and evaluate a strategy for identification of children who are at risk of developing progressive renal lesions after acute pyelonephritis. Tc-DMSA renal scintigraphy is widely accepted as the most sensitive method for detecting parenchymal lesions and diagnosing acute pyelonephritis. READ MORE

  4. 2. New perspectives on imaging of urinary tract infections in infants

    Author : Yvonne Simrén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection; Ultrasound; Diffusion weighted imaging; Diffusion tensor imaging;

    Abstract : Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in infants that may lead to renal damage with an increased risk of long term complications. The diagnostic imaging aims to identify risk factors as underlying urinary tract abnormalities and renal involvement of the infection for prevention of long term adverse outcome. READ MORE

  5. 3. Infants with urinary tract infection - renal damage and risk factors

    Author : Iulian Preda; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : infants; renal damage; urinary tract infection; imaging;

    Abstract : Background Identification of infants with urinary tract infection (UTI) who are at risk of renal scarring is an important clinical challenge with considerable economic consequences. Few issues in pediatric practice today have been so debated as the appropriate investigation of an infant with UTI. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ultrasonography of the urinary tract in children, with special emphasis on the urinary bladder

    Author : Lennart Müller; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : child; ultrasonography; bladder; detrusor; myelomeningocele; urinary tract infection; permanent renal damage;

    Abstract : Ultrasonography (US) is routinely used in children with urinary tract disorders. However, the bladder is usually evaluated with invasive methods, e.g. voiding cystourethrography (VCU) and cystometry. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biomarker discovery and assessment for prediction of kidney response after 177Lu-octreotate therapy

    Author : Emil Schüler; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PRRT; somatostatin; radionuclide therapy; 177Lu-octreotate; scintigraphy; renal function; toxicity; kidney response; radiation biology; microarray; molecular biomarkers; ionizing radiation; miRNA; proteomics; transcriptional response;

    Abstract : Patients suffering from neuroendocrine tumors are oftentimes presented with spread disease at the time of diagnosis. Therapy using somatostatin analogs is today the only potentially curative treatment option for these patients. READ MORE
