Wellness Conditions and Diagnoses Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) Explanation Terms Diagnosis Treatment What is vesicoureteral reflux? To understand vesicoureteral ( ves -ih-ko-yu- ree -ter-ul) reflux, it is necessary to first understand the normal structure and function of the urinary tract. The urinary system Blood in the body passes through the kidneys. The kidneys filter the liquid waste products out of the blood. This liquid waste (urine) passes through the ureters and into the bladder. When the bladder is full, the child has the urge to urinate. During urination, when the child goes to the bathroom, the urine passes through the urethra, a tube which carries the urine out of the body. Reflux With children who have vesicoureteral reflux, the urine backflows or refluxes from the bladder up the ureters towards the kidneys. Reflux is caused by a faulty valve mechanism between the ureter and bladder. It is a condition with which people are born. It tends to run in families. If your child has reflux, the doctor may recommend testing for the condition in your other children. Reflux becomes a problem when urine becomes infected. Infected urine usually stays within the bladder. When reflux exists, however, bacteria can get into the kidneys and cause a kidney infection. This can lead to kidney damage.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Vesicoureteral reflux Definition Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) refers to a condition in which urine flows from the bladder, back up the ureter, and back into the kidneys. Description The normal flow of urine begins in the collecting system of each kidney. Urine then flows out of each kidney and into a tube called the ureter. Each ureter leads into the bladder, where the urine collects until it is passed out of the body. Normally, urine should flow only in this direction. In vesicoureteral reflux, however, urine that has already collected in the bladder is able to flow backwards from the bladder, up the ureter, and back into the collecting system of the kidney. VUR may be present in either one or both ureters. Vesicoureteral reflux causes damage to the kidneys in two ways: The kidney is not designed to withstand very much pressure. When VUR is present, backpressure of the urine on the kidney is significant. This can damage the kidney. The kidney is usually sterile, meaning that no bacteria are normally present within it. In VUR, bacteria that enter through the urinary tract may be carried back up the ureter with the urine. These bacteria can enter the kidney, causing severe infection.

This is a condition that causes urine to move backwards from the bladder, through one or both of the ureters, and up to the kidneys. It is especially important to test children under 2-5 years old with a UTI and older children that have more than one infection. Up to 50% of children with a UTI may have reflux on further testing.

Site Index Related Resources Within UMM Urology Urological Disorders Vesicoureteral Reflux What is vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)? Vesicoureteral reflux occurs when urine that dwells in the bladder flows back into the ureters and often back into the kidneys. The bladder is the hollow, muscular organ that stores urine before urination occurs. The bladder has three small openings: two connect the ureters where urine is drained down from the kidneys, and one connects the bladder to the urethra where urine exits the body. The ureters are funnel-shaped tubes that carry urine from the kidneys. Ureters enter the bladder at a diagonal angle and have a special one-way valve system that normally prevents urine from flowing back up the ureters in the direction of the kidneys. When a child has vesicoureteral reflux, the mechanism that prevents the back-flow of urine does not work, allowing urine to flow in both directions. A child who has vesicoureteral reflux is at risk for developing recurrent kidney infections, which, over time, can cause damage and scarring to the kidneys. What causes vesicoureteral reflux?

Radionuclide Cystography/Vesicoureteral Reflux Clinical Findings The clinical manifestations of urinary tract infection in the pediatric patient population are frequently nonspecific. Children may present with fever, irritability, poor feeding, failure to thrive, or diarrhea. Older children are usually able to report the more typical complaints of urgency, frequency, and dysuria. The majority of children with a UTI have no anatomic or functional abnormality in their urinary system. UTI, however, can be associated with such a problem- most commonly vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). The majority of pediatric patients who develop renal scars after a urinary tract infection have VUR, and higher grades of reflux are associated with an increase in parenchymal scarring [5]. Because of this, all children with a well documented UTI should have further evaluation of their urinary tract. Although vesicoureteral reflux is found in less than 1% of the general population, it is seen in about 35% of children with urinary tract infections. Vesicoureteral reflux is caused by a failure of competency of the valvular function of the normal ureterovesical junction. The normal ureter passes obliquely through the bladder wall and submucosa to its opening at the trigone. The length of the intramural tunnel, especially its submucosal component, with respect to the diameter of the ureter plays a primary role in the competence of the vesicoureteral junction. As the bladder fills with urine, the junction closes by compression like a flap-valve, thus preventing reflux. If the intramural length of the ureter is too short in comparison to its diameter, the valve will not close completely.

In children with reflux, urine travels back up from the bladder into the kidneys. Normally, this is prevented by a special valve mechanism. As the bladder fills, the ureter, which carries urine from the kidney, becomes compressed preventing urine from traveling back up into the kidney. urinary tract infection (UTI) that problems can begin, including kidney infection, with possible permanent scarring of the kidneys. In the worst cases, this scarring can lead to high blood pressure and even kidney failure. Diagnosis For this reason, we recommend that most children with a UTI undergo further testing.
