Glomerular and Tubular Function in Children with Ileal Conduit Urinary Diversion

AbstractChildren with ileal conduit urinary diversion usually have adequate postoperative assessment of glomerular but not tubular function. Deterioration of tubular function usually precedes deterioration of glomerular function in most urologic conditions. We herein assess and compare deterioration of glomerular and tubular function in children with ileal conduits. Recommendations for functional postoperative evaluation are made.
