Early diagnosis of renal scarring in children with vesico-ureteral reflux

Abstract

It is well known that the vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is watched in 1-2 % of children's population, and its frequency among the children with an infection of urinary system achieves 70 %. The VUR is bound to the increased risk of pyelonephritis and nephrosclerosis. The nephrosclerosis on the background of VUR is formed in 30-60 % patients and results into development of end-stage chronic renal insufficiency in 25-60 % patients.
