Monitoring
Routine follow-up is not required for patients with episodes of uncomplicated UTI who receive antimicrobial treatment and experience resolution of symptoms.
Renal scintigraphy (dimercaptosuccinic acid [DMSA] scan) to detect renal scarring should be arranged 4 to 6 months following acute infection for children with recurrent or atypical/complicated UTI.[4][11]
Periodic renal function monitoring, blood pressure, height, weight, and testing for proteinuria should be performed in patients with renal parenchymal defects.[4]
