PROGNOSIS OF CONDENITAL HYRDONEPHROSIS OUTCOME IN CHILDREN

Abstract

173 children with hereditary hydronephrosis aged 2 months to 15 years (128 boys and 45 girls) were observed. Out of 123 patients who had reconstruction-plastic surgeries on the pelvis-ureter segment (PUS), the control examination of 115 patients (90 boys, 25 girls) was conducted in the follow-up period at 6 months to 16 years. Conducted were colour Doppler imagining of kidney vessels, impulsewave Doppler sonography of ureters and cystic emissions, morphological research of PUS and biopsy samples of the affected kidney. To determine the preservation of kidney parenchyma and monitor its growth and development in the post-operation period, the use of the above methods of diagnostics to prognosticate the course and outcome of hereditary hydronephrosis is viable.
Key words: hereditary hydronephrosis, pelvis-ureter segment, vesicoureteral reflux, diagnostics, treatment, outcome, prognosis, monitoring, treatment efficacy, children.
