Episode 46: Urinary Tract Dilation

In this episode we speak to Dr. Hiep Nguyen a pediatric urologist at Banner Children’s Hospital on urinary tract dilation, a topic that while common is often poorly understood. He explains the pathophysiology of physiologic urinary tract dilation and discusses the risks associated with the various grades of urinary tract dilation.  References Nguyen HT, Benson CB, Bromley B, Campbell JB, Chow J, Coleman B, Cooper C, Crino J, Darge K, Herndon CD, Odibo AO, Somers MJ, Stein DR.
