Umalatova M., Lefitov G., Mahachev B.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a pediatric problem affecting 1% to 3% of population. The goal of VUR treatment is to prevent the occurrence of febrile urinary tract infections (UTI) and formation of renal scars. The treatment approach should be adapted individually and weighted against the risk which is influenced by the presentation age, sex, history of pyelonephritis and renal damage, grade of reflux, bladder bowel dysfunction, and circumcision status.
