Renal scarring and vesicoureteric reflux.

Abstract: (MacGregor and Freeman, 1975; that there is a striking relationship between the incidence of renal scarring and the severity of VUR, and also throw further light on the reputedly rare appearance of new renal scars in patients while under observation. Patients and methodsThe case records and radiographs of all children who attended the renal clinic during 1974 with recently diagnosed or previous UTI have been reviewed.Children with neurological disorders affecting bladder function, e.g. spina bifida, were exclu… Show more

“…At present, the most accurate and reliable method for the detection of reflux is conventional voiding cystourethrography, and it should be the first diagnostic study [9,18]. Abnormalities of the upper urinary tract predisposing to, associated with, or aggravating the urinary infection/vesicoureteral reflux complex were correctly identified by sonography in this study, and this has been the experience of others [1 -4].…”

“…In addition, the prevalence of VUR in the pediatric age group varies in different countries. Different studies in Western countries found that the prevalence of VUR ranges from 41% and up to 63% (5,19). Interestingly, the lowest VUR prevalence was reported in Black Americans and Jamaicans, indicting racial variations (20,21).…”

“…Vesicoureteral reflux is the most common congenital abnormalities found in children with recurrent UTI (3,4). Previous studies have found that radiological abnormalities can exist in 25% to 55% of children after their first attack of UTI (5,6). To prevent VUR related sequels, participants can be treated by continuous antibiotic prophylaxis, surgical intervention by ureteric reimplantation, or endoscopic treatment by injecting bulking agents (7).…”
