Kidney radiologic studies

Truche et al. [188 ] reported that intravenously injected elemental mercury caused varying effects from asymptomatic discovery on radiologic studies to respiratory, kidney and liver failure, neurologic symptoms and death in a 34-year-old man after a suicide attempt by intravenous injection of 25 ml of elemental mercury.

A standardized protocol for the evaluation of the urinary tract must be established in every radiological department caring for neonates, infants and children with myelodysplasia. Such a protocol might be as follows After the myelomeningocele has been repaired and the hydrocephalus has been relieved by a shunt device, ultrasound studies of the kidneys and the bladder should be performed. During the first 6 weeks of life, a video-urodynamic study, if available, or a modified VCU study must be performed. In hospitals where only urodynamics is available, we suggest a modified VCU study as well.
