Serum creatinine levels in cases of posterior urethral valve: 29  years experience of a pediatric urology reference center

ConclusionsIn patients with posterior urethral valves, nadir creatinine, especially higher than 1  mg/dL, should be considered as high risk for end‐stage renal disease. Therefore, clinicians should improve awareness about early detection and treatment of posterior urethral valves, and these patients should be monitored as early as possible for the risk of chronic kidney disease.
