Ultrasonographic evaluation revealed normal results in 32 patients and abnormal findings, including moderate-to-severe calyceal dilatation, parenchymal thinning, and residual urine, in 30 patients. At the time of diagnosis, culture-positive urinary tract infection was detected in 22 patients, and leukocyte and/or bacterial positivity was detected in 18 patients. The differences between bladder capacity, bladder pressure...Continue Reading
