Research Interests

The timing for intervention in hydronephrosis in the infant and child is poorly understood. The interaction between urinary tract pressures and renal tubular and glomerular changes have not been well outlined. Our group has been interested in trying to define the parameters that may be involved in obstructive and infectious uropathies. We are also examining the effect of hormones on the urinary tract. We are applying the results of these findings to identify factors that could be markers of renal dysfunction. We have also collaborated with faculty at the Lucas Magnetic Resonance Center to develop new techniques with which to identify obstructive hydronephrosis. We have examined:

1. The effect of urinary flow rates and bladder fullness on renal pelvic and bladder pressures.
2. The effect of urinary tract infection on bladder and renal pelvic pressures.
3. The effect of vesicoureteral reflux on renal pelvic pressures.
4. The effect of anticholinergic drugs on bladder and renal pelvic pressures.
5. The effect of partial obstruction on renal pelvic pressures.
6. Urinary antibodies and intestinal bladder augmentation.
7. Ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging in a hydronephrotic rat model
8. Pathologic effect of inflammation and pressure on the kidney
