Diagonised With Pelviectasis & UTI Causing Pain In The Abdomen
My daughter has pelviectasis and 5 months ago had an UTI, now she has started two months ago having sharp pains in her abdomen area . Could this be related. She is special needs and can t talk but we know the pains come from that area and the pain is bad at the time. No UTI reported. Checked for kidney stones today via ultrasound but only found pelviectasis.

Hi and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
Pelviectasis and UTI can be related. The former makes a person,more prone for UTI. She must be examined by an Urologist and do the following tests :
1. Urine routine and culture.
2. Blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,and platelets.
3. Ultrasound-KUB must be done with residual urine estimation.
4. In repeat UTI and/or sharp abdominal pain,she must have CT-IVU done.
According to reports,an expert opinion can be given.
