  • Title: [Alterations of renal function in pyelonephritis (author's transl)].
    Author: Soriano JR, Vallo A.
    Journal: An Esp Pediatr; 1975 Jul; 8 suppl 3():21-8. PubMed ID: 239618.
    Abstract:
    Renal function was investigated in a group of ten patients aged two months to eleven years, with chronic or recurrent urinary tract infection caused by different malformations of the urinary tract. The following tests were performed: endogenous creatinine clearance, maximal urinary concentrating ability, urinary acidification, maximal urinary diluting ability, free water clearance, index of fractional distal sodium delivery and index of distal tubular reabsorption of sodium. It is concluded that the follow-up of glomerular function by means of creatinine clearance and of tubular function by means of maximal concentrating ability consitute the most sensible way to detect renal functional impairment in children with chronic or recurrent pyelonephritis.
