Abstract
Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in children. Recurrent UTI causes serious complications such as renal scarring, proteinuria and hypertension. Recent studies have reported that hypercalciuria may be considered a risk factor for recurrent UTI.
Materials and Methods: In this study 110 children 2months to 13years old age with recurrent UTI were evaluated for hypercalciuria, urinary tract anomalies and voiding dysfunction, constipation, reflux and scars of the kidney. Hypercalciuria was defined as a calcium/creatinine ratio more than 0.21 in at least two morning spot urine test. Recurrent UTI was defined as at least 3 episodes of cystitis or 2 episodes of pyelonephritis.
Results: There was 110 children: 103 female (93.6) and 7 male (6.4). Mean age was 4.35 ± 2.05. Frequency of recurrent UTI was 2.7 times. The most common symptom was dysuria (73%) and frequency (60%), abdominal pain (44%). Hematuria was seen in 60% 0f patients with recurrent UTI and hypercalciuria. Mean calcium/creatinine ratio was 0.87±0.32 that detected in 37.7% of children with recurrent UTI. Familial history of hypercalciuria was detected in 13.6% of patients. Microlithiasis was detected in 83.3% of children with recurrent UTI and hypercalciuria. Patients with hypercaluria received hydrochlrotiazid for 3- 18 months (mean 8.3±3.1 months).

Abstract
Renal abscesses are rare in childhood. They have vague manifestations and any delay in proper diagnosis and treatment could lead to morbidity and mortality. We present a 5-year-old girl with multiple renal abscesses after pyelonephritis that lead to total nephrectomy due to multiple drug resistance.
The renal abscess may have subtle symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment strongly prevents undue mortality and morbidity. This case highlights the need of timed diagnosis and proper treatment. There must be a clinical suspicion of renal abscess if treatments have not enough effect on clinical condition of patient..

Abstract
Background: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children and the most common malignancy in infant. Some tumors release vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), causing a profound secretory diarrhea.
In this report we describe a 33 month old girl with intermittent diarrhea from 9 month ago and hypokalemia resistant to treatment .She had increased VMA in 24hour urin .After complete workup she had a mass in her thorax that resected and her diarrhea and hypokalemia was improved.
Conclusion: In children with resistant diarrhea we should consider tumors secreting VIP.
