Update on Sara


A couple of problems have arisen regarding the definite diagnosis. One is that her symptoms, on closer questioning probably started only 2 years ago, which you wouldn't expect in a congenital condition. The second is that though she leaks unconsciously often in the 24 hours, it doesn't seem to be continuously, as you would expect in the misplaced ureter condition. I carried out one of dye the tests, showing a normal bladder but was unable to complete the IV one.

As Dr Kamara is away for 2 weeks Sara and her mum, Haja have now gone back home and will be admitted at the government hospital on 16th Feb. It will be up to Dr Kamara to observe her, do the IV dye test and decide whether we should go ahead with surgery or not on 23rd Feb.
