Ultrasound (US) observations suggest that pelvicalyceal dilatation varies according to the degree of bladder fullness in children with urinary tract infection. The aim of this study was to assess whether anterior\u2010posterior (AP) measurements of the renal pelvis on US before and after voiding can be used as a screening tool while predicting the presence of VUR in children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The subjects were toilet\u2010trained children older than 4 years who required VCUG. Two groups were established based on the VCUG results: a VUR group of 40 kidney units (each unit defined as calyces and ureter) that exhibited different severities of reflux, and a control group of 68 kidney units unaffected by VUR. Prior to VCUG, US AP measurements of the renal pelvis of each kidney unit were recorded when the urinary bladder was full and again after bladder emptying. The change in AP measurement from before to after voiding was compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean change in AP measurements from before to after voiding in the VUR group was significantly greater than that in the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Comparing US AP measurements of the renal pelvis before and after voiding is useful for identifying children who are suspected to have VUR and thus require immediate VCUG. \u00a9 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
