Although few children are severely ill when evaluated in the pediatric office, developing the skills to recognize an infant or child who requires hospital ization is critical. Some children will require treatment in an emergency de partment or direct admission to an inpatient facility, whereas other children can be managed as outpatients. Determining when an infant requires an in patient admission is particularly important because the metabolic reserve is less abundant in the newborn. Patients with hemodynamic instability must be emergently addressed. This article outlines the most common urgent and emergent pediatric urological conditions with the goal to direct initial evaluation and treatment.
