Evaluación de lesiones renales mediante 99mTc-DMSA en niños con antecedentes de infección del tracto urinario y su relación con el reflujo vesicoureteral

Renal scarring resulting from UTI are in some cases related to VUR, but sometimes are caused by the infection itself. Not all patients with VUR develop renal lesions, and neither the presence of VUR always predispose children to renal lesions. MCU and direct isotopic cystography are useful for diagnosis of VUR but we shouldn't avoid 99mTc-DMSA scan in the management of children with UTI.
