Abstract

ABSTRACT Recurrent UTIs in prune belly Syndrome with a markedly reduced renal function pose significant renal injury risk. Normal creatinine can mask underlying damage. Long‐term, multidisciplinary follow‐up is crucial, especially in low‐resource settings, to preserve renal function and improve patient outcomes.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
