Description
Mehmet Umut Kutukoglu and seven colleagues test a urine marker for kidney swelling in children, in a prospective study published in two thousand twenty-five. Hydronephrosis, urine backing up into the kidney, has many causes. The dangerous kind involves a blocked junction that can damage the kidney.
Children with the condition were compared with healthy controls and with children whose swelling came from bladder dysfunction. A spot urine ratio of the CA 19-9 marker to creatinine was measured at entry and six months later. Ultrasound grades, kidney size, and function tests accompanied the marker. The question is whether a simple urine test can separate obstructive cases needing surgery from harmless ones needing only watching.
