[Lower urinary track function in children with urinary track infection].
During the last decade more and more urodynamic studies in children have been performed as a step in diagnostic process of urinary tract diseases in children. Such a procedure is done to diagnose a cause of urinary tract infection as well. The aim of our study was to evaluate uroflowmetric parameters in children with urinary tract infections and try to find typical sings. Among the children examined at the Department as an out-patient we randomly selected the group of 379 patients. There were 94 patients afflicted with urinary tract infection without any special predisposing factors. The range of age was 5-15 years (ave--9.1, Me--9). There were 84 girls and 10 boys. A control group consisted of 195 patients in the range of age 5-16 years (ave 9.6). We analysed standard parameters of the uroflowmetric protocol (maximal and average flow, urinary bladder volume, residual volume, and time flow). Results were presented as average (X) and standard deviation (SD). There was no statistically significant difference between both group (p < 0.05).
