Background: Vesicoureteral reflux (urinary reflux) is one of the most common congenital anomalies in children. This study aimed to compare the ureteral opening distance from the midline in children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and healthy children Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on the children with pyelonephritis who were referred to Afzalipour Hospital in Kerman, Iran f...

urinary tract infection is a common pediatric problem and vesicoureteral reflux is its most common complication. detection of this reflux has classically been achieved by voiding cystouretrography (vcug). ultrasonography for evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux is shown to be feasible but is not widely accepted. our aim was to assess the value of routine sonography in detecting vesicoureteral re...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to determine the predictive value of clinical, laboratory, and imaging variables for the diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux in children with their first febrile urinary tract infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred fifty-three children with their first febrile urinary tract infection were divided into two groups according to the results of voiding cystour...

We analyzed the frequency of vesicoureteral reflux and the factors that favor its appearance after kidney transplantation in pediatric patients. This retrospective analysis examined the prevalence of post-transplant vesicoureteral reflux in a total of 181 kidney transplants performed in children at our center between 1978 and 2004. In patients who required corrective surgery for this problem, w...

PURPOSE The American Urological Association established the Vesicoureteral Reflux Guideline Update Committee in July 2005 to update the management of primary vesicoureteral reflux in children guideline. The Panel defined the task into 5 topics pertaining to specific vesicoureteral reflux management issues, which correspond to the management of 3 distinct index patients and the screening of 2 di...

INTRODUCTION The relationship between urinary tract infections and primary vesicoureteral reflux may lead to permanent renal damage. In the literature an increasing number of spontaneous cure of vesicoureteral reflux in children and the significant decrease in surgical therapy has been observed. OBJECTIVE To study the evolution of primary vesicoureteral reflux associated with recurring urinar...

INTRODUCTION Generalized joint hypermobility is deemed to be an underlying risk factor for many clinical conditions. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of generalized joint hypermobility in patients with vesicoureteral reflux. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study on 313 children, 3 to 15 years old, with a history of urinary tract infection. Generalized jo...

PURPOSE The optimal treatment algorithm for vesicoureteral reflux remains controversial. Previous decision analyses have attempted to determine the best approach solely from the cost or cure perspective but have not combined the goals of minimizing treatment and disease burden. We incorporated these considerations into a contemporary, comprehensive analysis of treatment for vesicoureteral reflu...
