Harntransportstörungen im Säuglingsalter
摘要
Urinary transport disorders in infancy are common and in most cases are detected prenatally. They are caused by congenital disorders of the kidney and urinary tract development. Only a few infants become symptomatic with urinary tract infections (UTI), urolithiasis or microhematuria. The majority of urinary transport disorders resolve spontaneously within the first few years of life; however, severe urinary transport disorders are associated with a high risk of kidney failure and must be diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. Repetitive ultrasound examinations, along with diuretic scintigraphy and voiding cystourethrography, are the most important diagnostic tools. Close interdisciplinary collaboration and follow-up into adulthood are necessary.
