   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PRRT; 177Lu-octreotate; 111In-octreotide; dosimetry; biokinetics; scintigraphy; conjugate view method; renal function; renal toxicity; lysine; DMSA; 99mTc-DTPA; 99mTc-DMSA;

   Abstract : 177Lu-octreotate is used for treatment of patients with somatostatin receptor expressing neuroendocrine tumors in some clinics using a standard schedule. Renal and bone marrow toxicity are the main limiting factors. READ MORE

4. 2. 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

5. 3. Long-term follow-up of adult women with urinary tract infection in childhood

   Author : Carin Gebäck; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ambulatory blood pressure; blood pressure; chronic kidney disease; DMSA scan; glomerular filtration rate; hypertension; pregnancy; renal damage; renal function; urinary tract infection; vesicoureteral reflux;

   Abstract : Acute pyelonephritis is common in young children and can lead to permanent renal damage. Renal damage increases the risk of complications such as hypertension and decreased renal function later in life. For women with renal damage there is also an increased risk of pregnancy complications. READ MORE

6. 4. 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

7. 5. 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
