I came across a guidance booklet, written by The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals called 'Investigating Urinary Tract Infections in Children'. It covers all the normal steps taken to investigate UTI's within the NHS and also outlines results and what they may indicate. It covers the main investigations - DMSA, MCU (micturating cysto-urethrogram), ultrasounds and other tests. It may make interesting reading for any parent worried about their child suffering repetitive UTI's.
