Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze if there were any factors that would indicate the diagnosis of dilating vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) (≥ grade 3) in the second voiding cystourethrogam (VCUG) of children with a normal first VCUG.Patients and Methods: Patients who underwent VCUG between 2012 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Within the cohort, patients who required more than one VCUG were abstracted and those withan abnormal first VCUG (VUR, posterior urethral valve, diverticula.) were excluded. Factors such as; age, gender, lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), renal scarring, recurrent urinary tract infection, abnormal ultrasonography findings (bladder abnormalities/variable degrees of hydronephrosis), and technical problems (absence of voiding phase) were noted. Mann-Whitney U test was used for continuous variables whereas Chi Square test was used for categorical values.Results: A total of 25 patients were found to have undergone more than 1 VCUG (19 girls, 6 boys; mean age 6 ± 3 years). Median time period between the two VCUGs were 12 months (range 1 – 72 months). VUR was detected in 11 patients, while dilating VUR was discovered in 7 patients. Among those, 6 patients were diagnosed with bilateral VUR. Recurrent UTI was found to be the only factor that would indicate dilating VUR in the second VCUG (p=0,049). Interestingly, no VUR was detected in cases that were performed after a first VCUG with inadequate technique.Conclusion: Recurrent UTI was shown to be the sole factor is associated with indicate the diagnosis of dilating VUR in the second VCUG. In our study, 28% of patients with a normal first VCUG were shown to have dilating VUR in the second study. Therefore, in recurrent febrile UTI, second VCUG should be considered in patients with a normal previous imaging.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı ilk işeme sistoüretrografisi (İSUG) normal olup ikinci bir işeme sistografisine gerek duyulan hastalarda dilate vezikoüreteral reflü (VUR) tanısına işaret edebilecek faktörleri tanımlamaktır. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Hastanemizde takipli hastalardan 2012 – 2017 yılları arasında işeme sistouretrografisi çekilmiş olanlar geriye dönük olarak tarandı. Birden fazla İSUG çekilen hastalar belirlendi. Bu hastalar içinden ilk İSUG sonucu normal olup da takipte tekrar İSUG çekilen hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. İlk İSUG sonucu normal olmayanlar (vezikoüreteral reflü, posterior uretral valv, divertikül vb.) dışlandı. Dahil edilen gruptaki hastalar yaş, cinsiyet, alt üriner sistem bozukluğu (AÜSB), renal skar varlığı, tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonu varlığı, anormal ultrasonografi bulguları (mesane anormallikleri, hidronefroz) ve teknik problem faktörleri (işeme fazı yokluğu vb.) açısından değerlendirildi. İkinci İSUG çekilmesini işaret eden faktörü belirlemek için Mann-Whitney U (sürekli veriler için) ve ki kare (kategorik veriler için) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda toplamda 25 hastaya ikinci kez İSUG yapıldığı saptandı (19 kız, 6 erkek; ortalama yaş 6 ± 3 yıl). İki İSUG arasında gecen medyan zaman 12 ay (1-72 ay) olarak bulundu. Hastaların 11’inde ikinci İSUG’da VUR saptanırken bunların 7 tanesi (%28) dilate VUR (≥ grade 3) idi. Ayrıca bu 7 hastanın 6’sinda VUR çift taraflıydı. Bakılan faktörler arasından yalnızca tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonu varlığı dilate VUR saptanması açısından anlamlıydı (p=0,049). Teknik problemlere bağlı ikinci İSUG çekilmiş olan hastaların hiçbirinde VUR saptanmadı. Sonuç: İlk İSUG sonucu normal olmasına rağmen ikinci İSUG çekilmesi gereken vakaların %28’inde dilate VUR saptanabilmektedir. Tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonu varlığı, dilate vezikoüreteral reflüyü işaret edebilecek tek faktör olarak bulunmuştur. İlk İSUG sonucu normal bulunan hastalarda tekrarlayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonu varlığında tekrar İSUG çekilmesi konusunda daha liberal davranılabilir.
