The evolution of our concepts regarding the pathogenesis of renal inju ry in children with urinary tract infections is reviewed. Recommendati ons are made for evaluation and management of children with urinary tr act infection based on (1) our current perceptions of the pathogenesis of kidney damage associated with urinary tract infection; (2) the app ropriate use of the imaging modalities now available for evaluation of the urinary tract; and (3) the appropriate use of antibiotics.
