Renal SWE as a Predictor After Pediatric Pyeloplasty for UPJO
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is an important cause of hydronephrosis and potentially reversible renal functional impairment in children. Although open pyeloplasty is an effective standard treatment, the degree of postoperative renal functional recovery varies between patients.
This prospective observational cohort study will evaluate whether renal cortical shear wave elastography can predict renal functional recovery after open pyeloplasty in children with unilateral primary ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Renal cortical shear wave elastography will be assessed before surgery and during follow-up, and the change in elastography values will be compared with renal isotope findings after surgery.
The primary objective is to evaluate the predictive value of the change in renal cortical shear wave elastography from baseline to 3 months after surgery for isotope-defined renal functional recovery at 6 months after open pyeloplasty.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Predictive Accuracy of 3-Month Change in Renal Cortical SWE for 6-Month Functional Recovery — Baseline to 6 months after open pyeloplasty
The change in renal cortical shear wave elastography from baseline to 3 months after open pyeloplasty will be evaluated for its ability to predict renal functional recovery at 6 months.
