ped urology/UPOJ

  Our son was dx with hydronephrosis (mild) bilaterally inutero. At 2
  months reflus test was neg. but renal lasix test showed bilateral
  obstruction, right greater than left. 32% vs 68% respectively.
  monitoring via renal lasix was recommended every 3 months with surgery
  in the event of repeated infection or evidence of kidney damage.
  I have heard that there is some controversy whether early intervention
  is preferred vs. waiting.
  Do you have an opinion? where can I get further info? how do you find
  a urologist experienced with ped. pts?
  thank you

Dear Mike,
I certainly think that you should see a pediatric Urologist in the near future, probably one of the main Hospital centers in the nearest large city would have one.  A pediatric Urologist deals with these types of problems week-in and week-out  Often they are affiliated with a pediatric hospital, one that performs ultrasounds, VCUG
