[Abnormalities of the genito-urinary tract in children--types, symptoms, treatment and prognosis].

Six hundred forty seven children with genito-urinary tract abnormalities selected from the group of 1,423 children with urinary infections have been analysed. Prevailing contribution of the genito-urinary tract abnormalities to the development of chronic renal failure has been emphasized. It has been shown, that diagnostic problems and delayed treatment are most frequently due to non-characteristic and oligosymptomatic course of the disease. Proper approach to the genito-urinary tract abnormalities symptomatology accompanied with proper diagnosis and management may significantly lower the incidence of severe renal failure.
