Sonographic Diagnosis of Urinary Transport Disorders in Childhood

Abstract

Urinary transport disorders are among the most common congenital diseases in childhood. Congenital malformations of the urinary tract can cause bacterial urinary tract infections as early as in infancy and early childhood. Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections in children, and when pyelonephritis is present, the entire urinary tract should always be examined by sonography.
