Suggest Treatment For Hydronephrosis And Urinary Reflux In The Kidney
Hi I have a 10 months boy.he has Hydronephrosis and Urinary Reflux in both kidneys.he drinks 5 ml Cephalexin every night. his urine test shows staphylococcus and a few Ep.cells/h.p.f and rare bacteria.please tell me what is it?is it Urinary Tract Infection?what should I do?؟
Based on your statement I would state that your 10 months old son has congenital bilateral Vesico Uroteric Reflux (V.U.R)which is the common prime cause of getting frequent episodes of UTi .
The treatment depends upon the grade of reflux and it's adverse effect on kidneys .as reveled on test called DMSA scan .
In majority of children this gets resolved spontaneously over a period of 3-5 years .
One has to give prophylactic antibiotics in small doses for 3-4 years to prevent child from getting UTI. and to monitor the status of reflux by doing ultrasound scanning and DMSA scan every six months,
