Vesicoureteral Reflux

Abstract: Vesicoureteral reflux, the abnormal flow of urine from the bladder into the ureter, is one of the most common congenital anomalies found in children. The association of vesicoureteral reflux with urinary tract infections and renal scarring has important clinical implications. New insights into pathogenesis and new surgical techniques are changing the approach to the management of this disorder.

“…Esta segunda categoría se define por la existencia de una alteración funcional del TUI asociada al RVU. En este caso, el RVU se origina porque la alteración funcional del TUI produce un aumento de la presión vesical que vence la resistencia que opone el mecanismo valvular ureteral, tanto en niños 108 , como en adultos 233 .…”

“…1 According to the American epidemiological statistics, 1% of healthy children experience VUR and 20% to 40% of children with a febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) experience VUR. [2][3][4] Complications of VUR can arise due bacterial infection of the upper urinary tract, which can increase the risk of recurrent pyelonephritis, renal scarring and subsequent renal failure. 1 The goal of VUR therapy is to prevent UTIs and possible renal injury, while follow-up management is focused on identifying early signs of anatomical and functional renal abnormalities.…”
