Brief Answer:
Repeat DTPA scan .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query and uploading old reports .Based on the reports that you have uploaded the child has undergone surgery of Ureteric Implantation in 2015 .

Since 5 years have passed post operative and assuming that child has not developed episodes of UTI the renal function on left side is most likely improved compared to before surgery .However this needs to be confirmed by doing fresh DTPA and DMSA renal scan .This will help to assess the function of left kidney .

It is considered to be acceptable even the kidney function is consistently up to 30 % if the child is from getting repeated episodes of UTI.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions, I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
