DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF SERUM AND URINARY BIOMARKERS FOR RENAL SCARING IN CHILDREN WITH VESICOURETERAL REFLUX: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Topic overview
This systematic review evaluates non-invasive serum and urinary biomarkers as alternatives to DMSA scintigraphy for detecting renal scarring in pediatric VUR patients. The analysis addresses the need for radiation-free, cost-effective diagnostic tools in managing this common pediatric urological condition.
Key takeaways
- DMSA scintigraphy remains the gold standard for renal scarring detection but involves radiation exposure and high cost.
- Serum and urinary biomarkers offer non-invasive alternatives for diagnosing renal scarring in pediatric VUR patients.
- Meta-analysis evaluates diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers to potentially reduce reliance on imaging in VUR follow-up.
