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.

·
A burning sensation when urinating
·
A strong, persistent urge to urine

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.
