Renal and Bladder Functional Status at Diagnosis as Predictive Factors for the Outcome of Primary Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children

Abstract

Resolution of vesicoureteral reflux significantly correlated with renal and bladder functional status at diagnosis. Normal renal and bladder function at diagnosis is highly predictive of complete resolution of vesicoureteral reflux, whereas abnormal renal and bladder function is prognostic for persistence of reflux.
