Veziko-Üreteral Reflü Hastalığında Ultrasonun Rolünü Nasıl Belirleyebiliriz?

Amaç: Ultrasonografinin (US), veziko-üreteral reflü (VUR) tanısındaki rolünü açıklamak ve tanıda altın standart olan voiding sistoüretrografi’yle (VCUG) kıyaslamayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Nisan 2010 - Mart 2019 tarihleri arasında tek bir radyolog tarafından uygulanmış 532 VCUG ve eş zamanlı US tetkiki retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Demografik özellikler, US’de; pelvik staz, pelvikaliksiyel dilatasyon, hidroüreteronefroz ile VCUG’de reflü varlığı kaydedildi. İki testi kıyaslamak için ROC analizi yapıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların yaşları 5 ay- 18 yaş arasında değişmekte ve 342’ si (% 64.3) kadın, 190’ı (% 35.7) erkekti. Hastalar 6 yaş altı (n=286) ve 6 yaş üstü (n=246) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. 6 yaş altında US ve VCUG bulgularında korelasyon saptanırken (p

How Can We Specify The Role of Ultrasonography in the Vesico – Ureteral Reflux Disease?

Objective: We aimed to explain the role of ultrasonography (US) in the diagnosis of vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) andcompare it with the voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) which is gold standard.Material and Methods: Between April 2010 and March 2019, 532 VCUG and concurrent US tests performed by asingle radiologist were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, pelvic stasis, pelvi – calyxeal dilatationand hydro – uretero – nephrosis in the US, and reflux in the VCUG were recorded. ROC analysis was performed tocompare the two tests.Results: Ages of patients ranged from 5 months to 18 years and 342 (64.3 %) were female, and 190 (35.7 %) weremale. The patients were divided into two groups as below 6 years (n = 286) and over 6 years (n = 246). There wasa correlation between US and VCUG findings under the age of 6 (p
