Yield of Urinalysis Screening in Pediatric Cancer Survivors

A database of pediatric cancer survivors evaluated between January 2008 and March 2012 at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta was queried for survivors at risk for genitourinary late effects. The frequency of abnormal urinalyses was estimated. Risk factors associated with abnormal screening were identified. Pediatric cancer survivors exposed to higher dose ifosfamide or total body irradiation may be at higher risk of abnormal findings on urinalysis screening. Targeted screening of these higher risk patients should be considered.
