UTI - MCU and DMSA
My 7 yr olddaughter has UTI about twice a year. Doctor ordered ultrasound and a ureterocele was diagnosed on ultrasound. It was followed by DMSA scan which showed no kidney scarring at all. Now doc advises MCU for diagnosing reflux and also exact position of ureterocele. Is MCU absolutely necessary ?
