  • Title: Vesicoureteral reflux and urinary tract infections.
    Author: Agarwal S.
    Journal: Curr Opin Urol; 2000 Nov; 10(6):587-92. PubMed ID: 11148730.
    Abstract:
    Urinary tract infection is a common problem in children. The combination of vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) and urinary tract infection may predispose children to pyelonephritis and subsequent complications. This review outlines the modifications suggested in the recent literature in the protocol for investigations and diagnosing VUR. Recent interest has been expressed in studying certain molecular markers to measure non-invasively renal damage in children with VUR. Long term results of comparative trials between medical and surgical management have been published recently.
