About

Urinary Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been recently reported to be related with the degree of hydronephrosis in pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) patients. We are trying to analyze whether it is related with the grade of renal injury in UPJO patients.

Sex: All

Ages: Under 3 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

<Group 1>

1. 0-3 year old patients with SFU grade 2 or more hydronephrosis without ureteral dilatation

3. 0-3 year old patients with SFU grade 3 or 4 hydronephrosis without ureteral dilatation 2. doesn't meet the above criteria for the indication of pyeloplasty <Group 3>

4. 0-3 year old children without any abnormality of urinary tract

Exclusion criteria

<Group 1>
