What is the most common etiology of a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)?
E. coli
What condition involves risk factors of young, uncircumcised, bowel/bladder dysfunction, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), sexual activity?
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
How do symptoms for UTI differ for younger children vs. older children?

All infants/children 2-24 months after 1st febrile UTI
What condition is voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) used to detect? In what population is it recommended (hint: ___ AND ___)?
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) - Children of any age with 2+ febrile UTIs or 1st febrile UTI AND evident anomaly on RBUS, fever 102.2+ F, non-E. coli pathogen, poor growth/HTN
What condition involves retrograde urine flow from bladder into upper UT?
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)
What are the three treatments for Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)?
- Surveillance
- Low-dose prophylactic abx
- Monitor reflux
What is the most common type of renal fusion?
Horseshoe Kidney
What condition involves usually asymptomatic but may have pain, hematuria if infection/obstruction?
Horseshoe Kidney
What condition is often associated with anomalies and syndromes like VUR, hypospadias, undescended testes, other genetic disorders?
Horseshoe Kidney
With what condition do most patients have excellent prognosis with no intervention?
Horseshoe Kidney
With what condition is there slight increased risk for Wilms Tumor, and what is this?
Horseshoe Kidney
- Wilms Tumor: most common renal malignancy in kids
What condition is most common in kids 5 years or younger (boys)?
Nocturnal Enuresis (NE)
What condition involves treatment of behavioral modifications (reassurance, education and motivational therapy (ex. sticker chart))?
Nocturnal Enuresis (NE)
What is the recommended pharmacotherapy for Nocturnal Enuresis (NE), and what is the recommended age for this?
DDAVP/Desmopressin (synthetic ADH)
- Age 6+ years
What three conditions should definitely be considered for Hematuria?
- Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis
- IgA Vasculitis (Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP))
- Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)
