Technetium-99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy can guide clinical management in congenital hydronephrosis.

CONCLUSION: On the basis of these results (60% pathological findings) we recommend DMSA scintigraphy in the evaluation renal pathology in children with congenital hydronephrosis. Greater number of patients is needed for the estimation of the associated diagnosis (other than VUR) influence on the renal parenchymal damage in children with CH.
