Abstract
Voided urine carbohydrate antigen 19-9 is a noninvasive, clinically applicable marker in congenital obstructive nephropathy. The practical implications of these data for diagnosis and long-term followup in ureteropelvic junction obstruction are significant. Our findings suggest that proper decrease in urinary carbohydrate antigen 19-9 after pyeloplasty is predictive of excellent surgical outcomes and resolution of renal damage.
