Assessment of Kidney Function Discrepancies in Pediatric CAKUT Patients Using Bedside Schwartz Equation and Renal Scintigraphy
This comparison indicates a complex relationship between eGFR values and kidney size, suggesting potential inaccuracies in standard bedside eGFR measurements for pediatric CAKUT patients. The findings underscore the necessity for accurate diagnostic tools specifically designed for pediatric applications and advocate for the integration of multiple diagnostic techniques to improve clinical management.
