Micturating Cystourethrogram (MCU)
What is a MCU?
A MCU is a special type of X-ray test that looks inside your baby’s or child’s body while he or she is passing urine (weeing). Both ‘micturating and ‘voiding’ mean passing urine.
The test looks at the bladder, which stores urine, and the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. A long thin tube called a catheter is put through the urethra and into the bladder. Contrast dye is used, which can show the flow of urine.
A machine directs a series of X-rays into your child’s body over a period of time while his or her bladder empties. These are recorded as several images (pictures), using computerised digital equipment.
Why does my child need this test? The MCUG can check whether the flow of urine fromyour child’s bladder is being blocked, or whether it goes up the wrong way. It can help diagnose some conditions, including vesicoureteral reflux and posterior urethralvalves.
How to prepare your child :
Remember to give your child the antibiotic medicines as instructed, if prescribed.
If your child has signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI), speak with your doctor – you may need to wait until your child is better before he or she has this test. Children with a UTI may become irritable, have a fever, have pain on weeing, feel sick or be sick.
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to be taken for 48 to 72 hours, to stop your child getting a UTI from the test. Your doctor may ask whether your child has allergies to any medicines or contrast dye that may be used during the test.
Older girls may be asked if they are having their period and about the dates of their last period. They may also be asked if they are pregnant or if they could be pregnant. This is because ionising radiation may harm an unborn baby.
