Vesicoureteral Reflux in Childhood: Preventing urinary tract infections

W L Robson et al. Can Fam Physician. 1992 Sep.

Abstract

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the most common anatomical predisposition to pyelonephritis. A retrograde voiding cystourethrogram is the preferred study to assess the severity of VUR. Most children with VUR will respond to medical management. The prevention of urinary tract infections is fundamental to the management of children with VUR.
