Evaluation of spot urine CA 19 − 9/creatinine ratio in diagnosis and management of hydronephrosis in children: a prospective study
This study suggests that the spot urine CA 19 - 9/creatinine ratio may serve as a promising, non-invasive biomarker for distinguishing children with unilateral UPJO and non-obstructive HN from healthy controls. Although elevated levels in patients and postoperative decline were observed, its inability to predict HN severity or the necessity for surgical intervention limits its clinical utility.
