Transient Urodynamic Dysfunction of Infancy: Relationship to Urinary Tract Infections and Vesicoureteral Reflux

Abstract

We coined the term transient urodynamic dysfunction of infancy to describe this constellation of abnormalities, which predisposes infants to urinary tract infections and vesicoureteral reflux but improves spontaneously. The higher incidence of urinary tract infections and reflux in male infants may be related to higher intravesical pressures.
