Abstract
The Goal: Qunatification and classification of Hydronephrosis in children with Nuclear Medicine diagnostic method.
Methods: Retrospective study that has involved 49 pediatric patients in the time period from January to October 2015 at the age
group from 2003 to 2015 (with an average age of 4.0 years). Dynamic study of the kidney is made with the protocol predefined study
duration of 20 min.for time of 99m Tc-DTPA administration-that.The images were taken with two detectors gamma camera with a
low energy collimators and high resolution power in the rear projection.
Results: Of 49 patients to examine the dynamic kidney scintigraphy, 34 (69%) showed signs of morphological (anatomical) and func-
tional hydronephrosis in varying degrees of development caused by different causes.The study included 19 (40%) cases of female
with an average age of 4.68 years, and 30 cases were male (60%) with an average age of 3.86 years. Hydronephrosis of 34 cases with
14 females (41.17%) and 20 males (58.82%).
Conclusion: The method provides accurate high-quality diagnostic determination of the case of hydronephrosis, together with the
test with "forced" diuresis predicts the nature of significant impairments in function and helps in the early detection of deterioration
of functional mass.

Introduction
Hydronephrosa is referred to as enlargement of the pelvis and
kidney cavity, it is not synonymous with obstructions.
Obstructions (obstructions) are clinically defined as resistance
to urine flow [1].
Obstructions in every segment of the trunk cause dilation of the
pielokalic system as well:
• Obstructive-uropathy is a change in the output tract due
to an obstructive process (Hydonephrose, hydrourether)
which, if not treated, leads to renal impairment
