A cost-effectiveness model comparing urinary biomarkers with diuretic renogram in diagnosing ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children

Conclusions: Individual urine biomarkers are currently less expensive and less effective compared to DR in predicting UPJO. In future, biomarker panel is likely to be more cost-effective and reduce the need for invasive renogram thus reducing the radiation exposure.
