Brief Summary: Urinary tract infections UTI are a common and important clinical problem in childhoodUpper urinary tract infections ie acute pyelonephritis may lead to renal scarring hypertension and end-stage renal diseasePathogenesis of acute pyelonephritis APN is associated with urinary tract anatomy and function bacterial virulence factors the host innate immune system and production of free radicals Oxygen-free radicals and oxidative stress play a role in renal scar formation after an APN Oxygen-free radical scavengers and antioxidants can reduce tissue damage and renal scaring during acute pyelonephritiswe want to publish a study that indicates that antioxidant therapy with omega-3 given to children with pyelonephritis may indeed lower the risk for renal scarring

Several studies show that omega-3 alleviated oxidative stress and inflammationThis study is a simple randomized clinical trial RCT evaluating the effect of omega-3 in addition to antibiotic on preventing renal scaring after acute pyelonephritis in children This randomized clinical trial on 60 patients in 2 groups intervention control is conductedChildren aged 1 month to 10 years with positive urine culture clinical findings and 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid DMSA scintigraphy-based evidence in favor of acute pyelonephritis were enrolled into a clinical trial Patients with neurogenic bladder systemic hypertension obstructive uropathy and high grade vesicouretera are excludedPatients in Intervention group are administered omega-3 based on body weight in divided doses in addition to antibiotic regimens and patients in control group received antibiotic regimens without omega-3 Primary outcome is the development of renal scar by doing DMSA renal scan on the 7th day of admission and four to six months after the intervention and compared between groupsAlsomeasurement of urinary biomarker of acute kidney injury NGAL three days after antibiotic or omega-3 administration for assessing of subsequent scarring in both groups will be done Secondary outcome is the incidence and severity of renal scarring after pyelonephritis and response to treatment between two groups
