Reflux i urinvägar, njurproblem osv........
Tänk så mycket man kan hitta på nätet... Jag gissar att när jag var liten så hade jag iaf pyelonefrit, hydronefros och vesicouretal reflux. Kan ju vara bra att veta när vi pratar med nefro-folket...
Här fanns iaf några tester samlade, men de är på engelska. Kan IVP vara samma som DMSA eller är det ytterligare ett test man kan göra månne?
Another cause of hydronephrosis isvesicoureteral reflux, when urine that dwells in the bladder flows back into the ureters and often back into the kidneys.
If a diagnosis is not made prior to birth or if a child develops hydronephrosis, doctors will use a combination of the following tests on your newborn or child, depending on the severity of the problem, to help determine the underlying cause: Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) - a specific X-ray that examines the urinary tract. A catheter (hollow tube) is placed in the urethra (tube that drains urine from the bladder to the outside of the body) and the bladder is filled with a liquid dye. X-ray images will be taken as the bladder fills and empties. The images will show if there is any reverse flow of urine into the ureters and kidneys and how well the bladder empties. It is also used to determine if there is obstruction in the urethra. Renal ultrasound (RUS) - a non-invasive test in which a transducer is passed over the kidney, producing sound waves which bounce off the kidney and transmit a picture of the organ on a video screen. The test is used to determine the size and shape of the kidney, and to detect a mass, kidney stone, cyst, or other obstruction or abnormalities. Intravenous polygram (IVP) - a special x-ray of the kidneys, ureters and bladder that involves injection of a contrast agent that fills the urinary tract on the x-ray and helps the doctor to see the organs. The IVP shows how well the kidneys drain urine. A renal (kidney) scan (MAG 3 with lasix) - This scan provides very sensitive quantitative information regarding kidney function and drainage characteristics. Along with the IVP, it is particularly helpful in identifying and assessing the degree of blockage.
