Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a well-recognized condition in the pediatric population, but is less well described in the adult population, and its prevalence decreases with increasing age. We describe the case of a 53-year-old male with nonfunctional kidney in which accumulation of radioactivity was observed in the ureter and renal pelvis owing to VUR, which was detected by technetium-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid dynamic renal scintigraphy.
膀胱输尿管反流(VUR)是儿科人群中一种众所周知的病症,但在成年人群中描述较少,且随着年龄的增长其患病率降低。我们描述了一例 53 岁男性病例,其肾功能丧失,由于 VUR,放射性物质在输尿管和肾盂中积聚,这是通过 99m 锝二乙三胺五乙酸动态肾闪烁显像术检测到的。
