In a group of 327 normal children, aged 4 to 11, we measured Calcium (Ca) and Creatinine (Cr) in the second morning urine. In 226 of them, Magnesium (Mg) and Uric Acid (UA) were also calculated. Means and SD were respectively Ca/Cr: 0.11 +/- 0.09, Mg/Cr: 0.10 +/- 0.03, Mg/Ca: 1.56 +/- 1.48 and UA/Cr: 0.093 +/- 0.29. Distribution was not normal, so we used the 97.5 centile for the upper acceptable limit. This va...
When studying a child with urinary tract infection it is important to detect and localize any renal (scar) or urologic anomaly. Here we study the information obtained using: renal and vesical ultrasound (US), DMSA scan and radiologic or isotopic cystogram.We studied 148 children with more than one urinary infection and/or pyelonephritis; their mean age was 35.9 months (1-148 months); 55% were girls. The three d...
