Summary:Background The risk of deterioration of renal function in patients with urinary tract infection (UTI)-associated renal damage over several decades is incompletely known but of importance in regard to follow-up. Methods A population-based cohort of women followed from their first UTI in childhood was studied at median age of 27 years and now at 41 years. Renal damage was evaluated by 99m Tc-dimercaptosuccinic acid scan and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by 51 Cr-edetic acid clearance. Extent of individual kidney damage was graded as class 1 to 3. Results Eighty-six women completed the investigation, 58 with renal damage, and 28 without. Of those with damage, one had chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3, 14 stage 2, and 43 stage 1. Women with bilateral damage had lower GFR than those with no or unilateral damage ( p
