[Kidney sonography in childhood in chronic recurring pyelonephritis without a urinary transport disorder]
Abstract:
201 children with healthy kidneys and 61 patients of the paediatric nephrological dispensary with chronically relapsing pyelonephritis without disturbance of the transport of urine were examined sonographically. With the help of an atrophy score was controlled, whether the summation of unspecific parameters is in connection with the length of the kidney. A correlation of the introduced point system with the size of the kidney could be proved. The atrophy score represented shall facilitate the sonographic control of the course of non-obstructive parenchymatous renal diseases.
