Investigation and management of upper tract obstruction in children

By the end of this module you will be able to:

describe the differential diagnosis of antenatal hydronephrosis, in which obstruction represents an element
explain the importance of timing radiological investigations to the clinical scenario — with special reference to asymptomatic antenatally detected hydronephrosis
express the importance of the delayed image in diuretic renography
recognise that selection of patients for surgery is not a decision based on any single clinical or radiological factor and is in need of ongoing refinement.
