초록
목 적 : 소아의 급성 신우신염은 어릴수록 증상이 비특이적이어서 진단이 어렵고 신반흔이 발생할 위험이 높으나, 조기 진단 및 적절한 치료로써 신반흔의 유병률을 줄일 수 있다. 소아의 발열성 요로 감염 환아에서 급성 신우신염의 조기 진단을 위한 요로계 영상 검사를 비교함으로써, 연령별 유용성에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 발열성 요로 감염으로 진단받고, 급성기에 DMSA 스캔과 신초음파및 배뇨중 방광 요도 조영술을 시행했던 총 53명(2세 미만 34명, 2세 이상 19명)을 대상으로 하여, 두 연령군 사이에 영상 검사의 민감도 및 그 연관성을 관찰하였다. 결 과 : DMSA 스캔의 신피질 결손율은 2세 미만에서 23.5%로서, 2세 이상의 63.2%에 비해 유의하게 낮았다(P<0.05). DMSA 스캔의 신피질 결손은 말초 혈액 백혈구 증가와 연관이 있을 뿐, 발열 기간, ESR, CRP와는 연관이 없었고, 신초음파 이상소견 및 방광 요관 역류 유무와도 유의한 연관성이 없었다. 결 론 : 2세 미만에서는 DMSA 스캔의 민감도가 낮아서 급성 신우신염의 진단에 어려움이 있고, DMSA 스캔만으로 방광 요관 역류의 유무를 예측할 수 없으므로 배뇨성 방광 요도 조영술을 함께 시행하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
Abstract
Purpose : It is difficult to diagnose acute pyelonephritis(APN) in young children, because of their nonspecific symptoms. The younger the age, the higher the risk of renal scars after APN, which can be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment. We compare the significance of renal imaging studies by age for diagnosis of APN in febrile urinary tract infection(UTI) in children. Methods : Fifty-three hospitalized children(34 patients under age 2 and 19 patients over age 2) with febrile UTI and who had undergone dimercaptosuccinic acid(DMSA) scan, renal ultrasonography(RUS) and voiding cystourethrography(VCUG) during the acute stage were reviewed. We compared the renal imaging studies between the different age groups. Results : The DMSA scan showed cortical defects in 23.5% of patients under age 2, which was significantly lower than 63.2% of patents over age 2(P<0.05). The renal cortical defects on DMSA scan were associated only with a high peripheral leukocyte count, but not with fever duration, erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), and C-reactive protein(CRP). And there was no correlation between the DMSA scan, VCUG or RUS findings. Conclusions : The DMSA scan is not sensitive for diagnosis of APN in children less than 2 years of age and the findings cannot predict the presence of vesicoureteral reflux(VUR). VCUG may be necessary for proper management in this age group.
