This study evaluated the controversial relationship between duration of fever before treatment initiation (FBT) for a febrile urinary tract infection (UTI), with renal scarring based on dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy (DMSA) findings.The inpatient records 148 children under two years age first episode UTI were analysed. Acute and repeat DMSA findings, clinical laboratory parameters evaluated.Acute showed that 76 had lesions: 20 mild, 56 moderate or severe. Repeat in 34 patients. The...
Small dense low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (sdLDL-C) molecules are more atherogenic compared with large buoyant ones. Phytosterols-enriched diets effective in decreasing total cholesterol (TC) and (LDL-C) concentrations hyperlipidemic children without significant adverse effects. Limited data on the impact of such a diet sdLDL-C levels is available adults while there no reports concerning children.
