13mo DS had a urinary tract infection in mid-April.
He's had an ordinary ultrasound and that was fine, it showed the kidneys were in the right place, the right size, his bladder was fine too.
At the follow-up appointment, he had his urine tested (clear), he was weighed, had his blood pressure taken - all fine.
But they want to check his kidneys weren't scarred by the infection so they are doing a DMSA examination on 8th August. He has to be sedated for this, as it will take half an hour and obviously he won't lie still long enough.
Because I'm pregnant, I don't think I'll be able to be with him (the paed we saw didn't think I would be able to anyway), but his dad will be with him.
So what I want to know is whether anybody has a child who's had this kind of scan and whether if it shows up as all clear, is he likely to have further tests? The paed also talked about monitoring him as he grows up because of the effect scarring from a UTI can have on kidneys as they grow. I'm very glad they're being so thorough, but feel awful about not being there for his scan
