Primary Vesico-Ureteral Reflux: Comparison of Factors between Infants and Children

Abstract

Our data showed that VUR in infant was significantly higher in male than in female, whereas VUR in children was significantly higher in female. This may be due to that characteristic of a population where neonatal circumcision is not a common procedure in infant and urinary tract infections are more common in female children. Further study may be needed to identify gender difference in RPD in infant with high grade reflux.
