Chronic Kidney Disease in Boys with Posterior Urethral Valves
In a study by Klaus R and Lange-Sperandio B, the pathogenesis, prognosis, and management of chronic kidney disease in boys with posterior urethral valves were investigated. Another research by Chua ME et al. focused on the impact of adjuvant urinary diversion versus valve ablation alone on the progression to end stage renal disease. Khondker A et al. conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing primary ablation versus urinary diversion in posterior urethral valves. Mo Z et al. examined urodynamic changes before and after endoscopic valve ablation in boys with posterior urethral valve. Pellegrino C et al. discussed the role of prenatal diagnosis and long-term management of bladder function in posterior urethral valves. Nassr A et al. evaluated the effectiveness of vesico-amniotic shunt in fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction. Morris R et al. conducted a randomized trial comparing vesico-amniotic shunting versus conservative management for fetal lower urinary tract obstruction. Kohl T et al. found that early vesico-amniotic shunt insertion improved renal function in fetuses with severe urinary tract obstruction.
