What is Vesicoureteral Reflux?

• Vesicoureteral reflux is the abnormal flow of
  urine from your bladder back up the tubes
  (ureters) that join your kidneys to your bladder.
  Generally, urine flows from your kidneys through
  the ureters down to your bladder. It is not
  supposed to flow back up.
• Vesicoureteral reflux is generally diagnosed in
  infants and children. The disorder increases the
  risk of urinary tract infections, which, if left
  untreated, could lead to kidney damage.
• Children might outgrow primary vesicoureteral
  reflux. Treatment, which involves medication or
  surgery, aims at preventing kidney damage.

Symptoms of Vesicoureteral Reflux

• Urinary tract infections commonly happen in
  people with vesicoureteral reflux. A urinary
  tract infection (UTI) does not always cause
  noticeable signs and symptoms, though most people
  have some.
• These signs and symptoms could include
• A strong, continuous urge to urinate
• A burning feeling when urinating
• The requirement to pass small amounts of urine
  frequently
• Cloudy urine
• Fever
• Pain in your side (flank) or abdomen

• Causes of Vesicoureteral Reflux
• Vesicoureteral reflux could develop in two types,
  primary and secondary
• Primary vesicoureteral reflux - Children with
  primary vesicoureteral reflux are born with a
  defect in the valve that usually prevents urine
  from flowing backward from the bladder into the
  ureters. Primary vesicoureteral reflux is the
  most common type.As your child grows, the
  ureters lengthen and straighten, which might
  improve valve function and ultimately correct the
  reflux. This type of vesicoureteral reflux tends
  to run in families, which indicates that it might
  be genetic, but the exact cause of the defect is
  unknown.
• Secondary vesicoureteral reflux - The cause of
  this form of reflux is most often from the
  failure of the bladder to empty properly, either
  because of a blockage or failure of the bladder
  muscle or damage to the nerves that control
  regular bladder emptying.
