Primary Vesicourteral Reflux in Children.
Seong Hee Choi, Seung Joo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(4):542-549.   Published online April 30, 1989
The primary vesicourteral reflux is the reflux of urine from the bladder to ureter and renal pelvis due to congenital incompetence of valvular mechanism at the ureterovesical junction. It can result in the development of renal scars(reflux nephropathy), particularly in association with urinary tract infection and intrarenal reflux. The authors studied 21 patients with primary vesicourteral reflux who were admitted to department of...
Periperal Plasma Renin Activity in Children with Normotensive Reflux Nephropathy.
Chong Guk Lee, Kwang Mann Ko
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(6):731-737.   Published online June 30, 1988
Peripheral renin activity was measured in 11 children with normotensive reflux nephropathy and 20 normal children to disclose the abnormality of the renin-angiotensin system in the patient group. 9 children among the patient group were allocated to single-dose captopril test for the assessment of the response to the test in patients with normotensive reflux nephropathy. 1. Contrary to the significant negative correlation between PRA and...
Gastroesophageal Reflux in Ingants and Clinical Experience with 24-Hour Esophageal pH Monitoring.
Kum Ja Choi, Keun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(4):427-435.   Published online April 30, 1988
Gastroesophageal reflux defined as a dysfunction of the distal esophagus is a major cause of recurrent vomiting and failure to thrive in newborns and young infants. In infants, the differentiation between pathologic, pernicous vomiting and normal “burping” with regurgitation has been difficult until the far advanced complications of weight loss, failure to thrive, anemia from ulcerating esophagitis, or stricutre have been obvious. A number of...
A Case of Reflux Nephropathy Associated with Cardiomyopathy.
Soon Hee Eom, Sung Ho Cha, Byung soo Cho, Chang Il Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(2):258-262.   Published online February 28, 1988
Vesicoureteral reflux is the regurgitation of bladder urine into the upper urinary tract regardless of urinary tract infection. The results of vesicoureteral reflux are renal scarring, hypertension and proteinuria etc. We experienced a case of vesicoureteral reflux associated with cardiomyopathy in a 10 year old female patient who had dyspnea and orthopnea and treated with surgical and medical therapy. A brief review of the related...

Intermittent Hydronephrosis.
Hong Kun Kim, Woo Gill Lee, Soo Jee Moon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(7):805-811.   Published online July 31, 1987
Episodic flank or abdominal pain with or without nausea and vomiting is most common manifesta- tion of intermittent hydronephrosis. Between episodes of pain, the patient may be asymptomaitc and intravenous urogram usually will be normal. This condition is diagnosed by intravenous urogram or ultrasonogram taken either during episodes of pain or after hydronephrosis precipitated by use of duretics or ingestion of alcoholic beverage, particulary...

A Clinical Study of Ureteral Duplication : Review of 90 Cases.
Jun Chul Choi, Jae Seung Lee, Ho Yung Lee, Dae Suk Han, Hyung Ki Choi, Jin Moo Lee, Jin Suck Suh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(2):170-177.   Published online February 28, 1986
Ureteral duplication is one of the most common congenital malformations of the urinary tract. Incomplete duplication rarely causes clinical problems, but complete duplication often accompanies complications of a varying degree. We herein analyzed, retrospectively, 90 cases with ureteral duplication who were admitted to Yonsei University Severance Hospital during 13.5 years. There were 28 cases under age of 15 years. Thirty-four cases...
Clinical Study of Urinary Tract Infection associated with Vesicouretral Reflux.
Kwang Hyun Kim, Tai Jin Park, Woo Gill Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(5):467-474.   Published online May 31, 1984
Vesicoureteral reflux is the problem frequently found among the patients with, urinary tract infection and is the most common cause of the chronic pyelonephritis in children, and renal scarring and renal growth retardation due to reflux and infection is the most important cause of hypertension and renal failure. The authors studied clinically 13 cases with urinary tract infection associated with...
Phototherapy for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia.
Il Suck Chang, Chong Ku Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(1):8-13.   Published online January 31, 1983
Daylight phototherapy group (27 newborn infant) were compared with blue light photother- apy group (43 newborn infant) in serum total bilirubin decrements with phototherapy.; study A. For the purpose of dose-response relationship, 4 group (total 60 newborn infant) were compared the effectiveness of phototherapy based on radiant reflux (study B); Group 1, 5.46±0.65 ㎼/cm2.nm(mean±SD) Group 2,4.48±0.70 ㎼/cm2. nm (mean±SD)...
Importance of radiographic study of urinary tract infection in children.
Chang Ho Hong, Kyu Earn Kim, Pyung Kil Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(4):334-339.   Published online April 30, 1982
In urinary tract infection of childhood, the intravenous pyelogram is helpful in identifying gross malformations of urinary tract and appraising gross renal function. The voiding cystourethrogram evaluates configuration and function of the lower urinary tract and is most useful for delineating the presence and severity of vesicoureteral reflux. The intravenous pyelogram is suggested for every male patients with one documented...

A Case of Congenital Hypertrophic Pylocric Stenosis Associated with Gastroesophageal Reflux.
Eui Soo Park, Dong Won Lee, Woo Gill Lee, Poong Man Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(2):190-194.   Published online February 28, 1982
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is characterized by projectile vomiting and pyloric thickening, and must be differentiated with gastroesophageal reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux may defined as relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter causing return of stomach content into eophagus, and frequently associated with hiatal hernia. The authors presented a case, having congenital hypertrophic pyloric stencsis and gastroesophageal reflux simultaneously which must be differentiated...
