목 적:본 연구에서는 급성 신우신염으로 진단 받은 환아에서 여러 임상 증상 및 검사 결과와 방사선학적 검사에서 확인된 신실질 손상의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 DMSA 신 스캔, 신장 초음파, IVP, VCUG 등의 방사선학적 검사의 유용성과 방사선학적 검사의 결과에 따른 환아들의 임상 증상 및 검사 소견을 비교 분석하였다. 방 법:1998년 1월부터 2002년 12월까지 열성 요로 감염으로 처음 진단되어 입원 치료받았던 환아 115명을 대상으로 연구를 실시하였다. 이들은 DMSA 신 스캔, 신장 초음파, IVP, VCUG를 포함한 방사선학적 검사를 시행하였으며 각 검사의 양성률을 통하여 그 유용성을 비교하였다. 또한, 환아들의 연령, 성별, 발열 기간, 원인 균, 혈액학적 소견(백혈구 수, CRP, ESR)을 방사선학적 검사 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 연령에 따라 1군(1세 미만)과 2군(1세 이상)으로 분류하였으며, 각 군간의 검사 양성률 비교를 위해 chi-square test를 이용하여 통계 분석하였다. 결 과:방사선학적 검사 중 DMSA 신 스캔이 가장 높은 양성률을 보였다(DMSA 신 스캔 46 %, 신장 초음파 32%, IVP 28%, VCUG 22%, P<0.05). 환아의 발열 기간, 백혈구 수, 원인균은 방사선학적 검사 결과와 관련이 없었으나 CRP, ESR이 DMSA 신 스캔의 양성률과 밀접한 관계를 보였다. 연령별로 비교했을 때 1군에 비해 2군에서 DMSA 신 스캔 양성률이 증가하였으며(1군 40%, 2군 79%, P<0.05), VCUG 역시 2군에서 높은 양성률을 보였다(1군 16%, 2군 50%, P<0.05). 그러나 신장 초음파와 IVP는 각 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 성별로 비교했을 때 남아에 비하여 여아에서 DMSA 신 스캔 및 VCUG의 양성률이 높았으나(DMSA; 남아 39%, 여아 67%, VCUG; 남아 15%, 여아 43%, P< 0.05) 신장 초음파와 IVP는 성별에 따른 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결 론:급성 요로 감염에 이환된 환아는 신 손상 여부의 확인을 위하여 DMSA 신 스캔을 시행하는 것이 가장 도움이 되며, DMSA 신 스캔과 VCUG의 이상은 여아와 2세 이상에서 양성률이 높으므로, 이와 같은 경우에는 이 두 가지 검사를 반드시 시행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.
Abstract
Purpose : Acute pyelonephritis is one of the most common causes of unexplained fever in children. It may lead to the development of progressive renal damage. However, the detection of acute pyelonephritis can be difficult, especially in infants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of various lab tests and imaging studies for acute renal parenchymal changes in children with APN. We correlated the clinical and laboratory manifestations of acute pyelonephritis with the imaging studies. Methods : We reviewed the records of 115 children (85 males and 30 females) who were hospitalized during the period of January 1998 to December 2002 with initial clinical symptoms suggestive of pyelonephritis. The patients' age, sex, duration of fever, laboratory findings, and causative organisms were compared with the findings of imaging studies (Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan, renal ultrasonography, intravenous pyelography, voiding cystourethrography).Results : No significant relation between the number of febrile days, leukocyte count, causative organism, and the renal abnormalities in the imaging studies were observed. On the other hand, both C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels were significantly elevated in children with positive dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan. Furthermore, females and children older than 1 year presented with significantly higher rate of abnormal dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan findings and vesicoureteral reflux presented by voiding cystourethrography. Conclusion : We recommend females and children older than 1 year who are suspected of acute pyelonephritis be evaluated carefully for renal involvement by performing imaging studies including dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan and voiding cystourethrography.
