MEGAcystitis
MEGAureters
cryptochric
sites of obstruction to urine flow
- peliureteric junction
- bladder neck
- posterior urethral valves
renal dysplasia a/w
SEVERE VUR in isolation or apart of rare genetic syndromes
antenatal or postnatal treatment of congenital kidney anomalies?
POSTNATAL
since antenatal: intrauterine bladder drainage procedures (NOT VERY GOOD)
postnatal treatment of congenital kidney anomalies- bilateral hydro
48hrs after birth- US
posterior urethral valves?
Y-MCUG-Sx: cystooscopic ablation
N-stop antibiotics and repeat US 2-3 months
postnatal treatment of congenital kidney anomalies- unilateral hydro
4-6weeks after birth- US
any anomaly?
Y-further investigations
N-stop antibiotics and repeat US 2-3 months
NB rf’s UTI’s
Hydration? Completely empty bladder? Holds onto urine? Constipation? Neuro problems? Born with congenital urinary abnormalities? Frequent infections?
infant UTI don’t forget
Jaundice
Febrile convulsions
child UTI don’t forget
Rigors/ febrile convulsions
Recurrence of enuresis

- HTN
- tubular proteinuria
NB investigations for nephrotic syndrome
- Complement: c3,4
- ASOT, DNAse B, throat swab
- urine [Na]
- hep B and C screen
- malaria
