摘要
We read with interest the article by Abbas et al. [ [1] Abbas T. Elifranji M. Al-Salihi M. Ahmad J. Vallasciani S. Elkadhi A. et al. Functional recoverability post-pyeloplasty in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and poorly functioning kidneys: systematic review. J Pediatr Urol. 2022; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpurol.2022.07.009 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (2) Google Scholar ] on functional recoverability in poorly functioning kidney (PFK) with uretero pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) following pyeloplasty. The authors have included all units with less than 30% differential renal function (DRF), whereas the actual controversy lies in those with <10% DRF. Sarhan et al. [ [2] Sarhan O. Al Otay A. Al Faddagh A. El Helaly A. Al Hagbani M. Al Ghanbar M. et al. Pyeloplasty in children with low differential renal function: functional recoverability.

We have earlier shown that infants demonstrated better functional recovery following pyeloplasty [ [3] Chandrasekharam V.V.S. Babu R. Arlikar J. Satyanarayana R. Murali Krishna N.

The authors have not done sub group analysis of the age and many who recovered in <10% group might have been infants. Challenging the practice of straightforwardly removing “poorly functioning” kidney with ureteropelvic junction obstructionJournal of Pediatric UrologyPreviewWe value the chance to react to our colleagues' thoughtful comments of our article “Functional recoverability post-pyeloplasty in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and poorly functioning kidneys: Systematic review” [1] as well as their interesting remarks.
