Background: Antenatal hydronephrosis(ANH) has now become a frequent diagnosis with the increasing use of antenatal ultrasonography. Objective of present study was to evaluate and follow up infants with antenatally detected hydronephrosis and to determine whether there is significant correlation between anteroposterior renal pelvic diameter detected in antenatal USG and urinary tract anomalies detected postnatally.Methods: After obtaining an informed consent, all neonates with antenatal ultrasound showing hydronephrosis (n=80) were enrolled in the study. Postnatal ultrasound was done at 3 days ,1 month and 6 months of postnatal life. Atleast 6 months followup was done to look for spontaneous resolution or other significant pathology. Micturating cystourethrography/radionuclide scan done in selected cases.Results: Out of 80 cases ,43 had mild,24 had moderate and 13 had severe degrees of hydronephrosis.31 of them (9 mild,10 moderate and 12 with severe hydronephrosis) had postnatal anomaly detected.14 of them (1 mild, 4 moderate and 9 with severe hydronephrosis) underwent surgery. As the grade of antenatal hydronephrosis increases from mild, moderate to severe, the relative risk of postnatal anomaly and requirement of surgical intervention also increased (p value<0.0001).Conclusions: Antenatal hydronephrosis may be associated with significant postnatal urinary tract anomaly with risk quantified by the measurement of anteroposterior renal pelvic diameter(APPD).

Reliable Indication

INFECTIONS of the urinary tract are second only to infections of the respiratory tract in frequency and, therefore, represent a very common pediatric problem. In most instances the infection involves the kidney substance (pyelonephritis). In recurrent or chronic infections, usually superimposed on a congenital anatomic defect, functional damage often results. Because of the serious consequences of untreated urinary infection, early diagnosis is imperative, particularly so where there is an associated urinary tract anomaly and where infection tends to persist. Localizing clinical signs of infection in the urinary tract are too commonly absent to be relied on for a diagnosis, and pyuria, the usual indication of infection in the urinary tract, may be absent in the presence of infection. To date, the most reliable indication of infection in the urinary tract is obtained by finding bacteria in the urine in significant numbers.

Study Results

Introduction: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common infection among female adolescents, causing significant distress in the hospital or community settings. Most of the issues related to UTI could be prevented by adequate knowledge and safe habitual practices. Within the context of reproductive health services, nurses or nursing students being healthcare providers are typically expected to have knowledge on the causes of UTI, methods of preventing and managing such conditions and teaching the same to young girls and women. Education provided to women, particularly adolescents, by nurses and by trainers who have relevant experience and knowledge may ensure proper hygiene practices. Aim: To determine the level of knowledge, expressed habitual practice among 82 adolescent girls of a selected nursing college hostel. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted between June 2019 and December 2019. Tools included structured questionnaire on knowledge of UTI and a rating scale on expressed habitual practice on UTI prevention. All the 82 students of 1st BSc Nursing from the study institute were recruited. Adolescent girls who have undergone training on prevention of UTI in nursing curriculum and who had congenital defects of urinary system were excluded from the study. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 18.69±0.46 years. Total 13.4% experienced UTI in their life time. In terms of overall knowledge score, out of 82 subjects, around 40.2% had average (scoring between 8-10 out of 14) and few (28%) had good knowledge (≥11) on UTI prevention. In terms of overall expressed habitual practice, majority (53.7%) had average practice (score between 26-33 out of 46) whereas, 4.9% had unsafe practice (score ≤25). The Karl Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.1 and showed weak positive correlation between knowledge and expressed habitual practice. Association was found between experience of UTI p-value<0.001 and expressed habitual practice. Conclusion: Pooled results showed overall knowledge and expressed habitual practice was average and safe. Healthcare professionals, especially primary care givers such as nurses and nursing students, have the responsibility to broadcast proper information about UTI so that women/adolescents can identify the causes, risk factors, symptoms of UTI in early stages thereby preventing the mortality and morbidity related to UTI.
