Urine endothelin-1 levels as a predictor of renal scarring in children with urinary tract infections.

Abstract

Our study suggests that both uET-1 and uET-1/Cr can be used for prediction of renal scarring in children with normal renal function.

Measuring urine level of ET-1 can help us to avoid unnecessary DMSA studies if the patient's uET-1 level is found to be under the determined cut-off point.
