Extractions: Conclusions - Most high-grade reflux resolves, although the median time to resolution in this series was 6 to 8 years. The medical management of reflux requires patience by the physician and the family. Follow-up imaging should be performed infrequently [every 12 to 18 months], unless the clinical situation changes. The 7-year old child with grade II or III re fulx, will still likely outgrow it. If such children have a normal voiding pattern, they probably do not need a preventive antibiotic, as, in most cases. UTIs will not develop, and the reflux [ in the absence of UTIs] is not associated with the development of new renal scars.

Extractions: The normal flow of urine begins in the collecting system of each kidney. Urine then flows out of each kidney and into a tube called the ureter. Each ureter leads into the bladder, where the urine collects until it is passed out of the body. Normally, urine should flow only in this direction. In vesicoureteral reflux, however, urine that has already collected in the bladder is able to flow backwards from the bladder, up the ureter, and back into the collecting system of the kidney. VUR may be present in either one or both ureters. Vesicoureteral reflux causes damage to the kidneys in two ways: The kidney is not designed to withstand very much pressure. When VUR is present, backpressure of the urine on the kidney is significant. This can damage the kidney. The kidney is usually sterile, meaning that no bacteria are normally present within it. In VUR, bacteria that enter through the urinary tract may be carried back up the ureter with the urine. These bacteria can enter the kidney, causing severe infection.

Extractions: Vesicoureteral reflux occurs when urine that dwells in th e bladder flows back into the ureters and often back into the kidneys. The bladder is the hollow, muscular organ that stores urine before urination occurs. The bladder has three small openings: two connect the ureters where urine is drained down from the kidneys, and one connects the bladder to the urethra where urine exits the body. The ureters are funnel-shaped tubes that carry urine from the kidneys. Ureters enter the bladder at a diagonal angle and have a special one-way valve system that normally prevents urine from flowing back up the ureters in the direction of the kidneys. When a child has vesicoureteral reflux, the mechanism that prevents the back-flow of urine does not work, allowing urine to flow in both directions. A child who has vesicoureteral reflux is at risk for developing recurrent kidney infections, which, over time, can cause damage and scarring to the kidneys. What causes vesicoureteral reflux?

Virtual Hospital: Radiology Resident Case Of The Week: Vesicoureteral Reflux
Radiology Resident Case of the Week. vesicoureteral reflux. November 28, 1996. Etiology/Pathophysiologyvesicoureteral reflux (VUR) may be primary or secondary.
http://www.janela1.com/vh/docs/v0001125.htm

Extractions: Frequent urinary tract infections, flank pain, fever. Mild to moderate reflux usually disappears spontaneously after treatment for urinary tract infection and over a period of years. Only more severe reflux is likely to produce progressive renal damage, almost always before 5 years of age. Etiology/Pathophysiology Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) may be primary or secondary. Primary VUR is most likely the result of maldevelopment of the ureterovesical junction (UVJ). Gaping ureteral orifices with short intramural segment are present. It is both congenital and familial, and has a tendency to resolve with increasing age. Secondary causes may be associated with a number of diseases that affect the anatomy of the UVJ. These include: diverticulum at UVJ (Hutch diverticulum), increased intravesical pressure (neurogenic bladder, bladder outlet obstruction from posterior urethral valves), and ureteral duplication anomalies. Pathology: Reflux of infected urine into the renal pelvis and collecting tubules may cause focal or diffuse acute pyelonephritis, the end result of which is a scar. Following significant renal mass reduction by scarring, progressive renal insufficiency may develop. This clinical entity is called refluxing nephropathy.
