Vesicoureteral Reflux

 Urine flows from the kidneys, through thin tubes called ureters, to the bladder. If urine flows from the bladder back into the ureters this is called vesicoureteral reflux, With vesicoureteral reflux, urine flows back from the bladder to ureter then to the kidney. This may happen in one or both ureters. This condition occurs when the "flap valve" doesn’t work this lets urine flow back, due to this bacteria from the bladder can enter the kidney may cause a kidney infection that can lead to kidney damage.

Symptoms of Vesicoureteral Reflux:

·        A burning sensation when urinating

·        A strong, persistent urge to urine

·        The need to pass small amounts of urine frequently

·        Cloudy urine

·        Pain in your side or abdomen

Diagnosis:

 Voiding cystourethrogram: A thin plastic tube is injected with fluid and X-ray dye into your bladder. Then an X-ray machine takes a video while you pee to see whether the fluid goes backward from the bladder to reach kidneys.

 Radionuclide cystogram: This process is similar to voiding cystourethrogram, except the contrasting dye is a radioactive material is detected by a nuclear scan.

 Abdominal ultrasound: Sound waves are passed on the abdomen to create an image of the entire urinary tract. This could be used to find out how your kidneys are functioning.

 Urodynamic: This test is done to see how well the bladder is collecting, holding, releasing urine.

Treatment:

 Doctors can use surgery to correct reflux and prevent urine from flowing back to the kidney.
