- Synopsis
- Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is the most common disease of the urinary tract in children, occurring in 1% to 2% of the pediatric population and in 30% to 40% of children presenting with a urinary tract infection (UTI). The familial nature of VUR is well recognized. Siblings of children with VUR are at a much higher risk for reflux than the general pediatric population, with a reported prevalence between 25% and 50%. The association of VUR, febrile UTI, and renal parenchymal damage is well recognized. Reflux nephropathy is a cause of childhood hypertension and chronic renal failure. This first book on vesicoureteral reflux is authoritative, comprehensive, and up-to-date, written by the world&’s foremost experts. It provides detailed information and guidance on the management of VUR to pediatric urologists, pediatric surgeons, pediatric nephrologists, pediatricians, neonatologists, and other health professionals in the field.
