Treatments of Vesicoureteral reflux discussion: The goal for treatment of VUR is to prevent any kidney damage from occurring. Infections should be treated at once with antibiotics to prevent the infection from moving into the kidneys. Antibiotic therapy usually corrects reflux caused by infection. Sometimes surgery is needed to correct primary VUR.

Extractions: Genitourinary and Kidney Disorders 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?

Events and Classes Vesicoureteral Reflux Print Format Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition in which urine backs up from the bladder into the ureters - the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. In severe cases, this congenital condition causes urine to back up into the kidneys. Vesicoureteral reflux is twice as common in girls as boys and may be present in one or both ureters. The condition is caused when the tunnel created by the ureter entering the bladder is not long enough. Consequently, the mechanisms that control urine flow from the ureter into the bladder don't work properly, allowing urine to back up. In about 20 percent of these cases, the condition corrects itself as the child grows and the ureter grows longer. Serious reflux, if left untreated, can result in urinary tract infections that lead to permanent kidney damage and loss of function. In most cases, the child will outgrow the reflux; however, the child needs to be on antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent urinary infection. If using antibiotics to prevent infection doesn't work, surgery may be necessary. Should your child require surgery, a skilled team of urologists, anesthesiologists, nurses and other specialists who have been trained to work with the special needs of developing children will care for your child. We also recognize the important role parents have on our team.

Extractions: Treatment Signs and Symptoms Vesicoureteral reflux is the abnormal backflow of urine from the bladder into the ureter, one of the two tubes that drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and up to the kidney. It is the most common problem found in children with urinary tract infections . Reflux is found in 20 percent to 50 percent of children who have had a urinary tract infection. It is dangerous because it allows bacteria that might be in the bladder to reach the kidney. This can cause a kidney infection or pyelonephritis, which can lead to kidney scarring or other damage. Normally, the ureter enters the bladder in such a way that urine isn't allowed to back up to the kidney. Reflux occurs when the ureter enters the bladder abnormally. The problem results because the muscle backing of the bladder doesn't completely cover the ureter and urine flows back toward the kidney. Reflux or backflow also occurs because of other problems such as dysfunctional voiding, neurogenic problems or problems with nerve tissue in the bladder or other secondary causes.

Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)
vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the abnormal flow of urine from the bladder backinto the ureters.
http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/943052307.html

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Urine normally flows in one direction down from the kidneys, through tubes called ureters, to the bladder. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the abnormal flow of urine from the bladder back into the ureters. VUR is most commonly diagnosed in infancy and childhood after the patient has a urinary tract infection (UTI). About one-third of children with UTI are found to have VUR. VUR can lead to infection because urine that remains in the child's urinary tract provides a place for bacteria to grow. But sometimes the infection itself is the cause of VUR. There are two types of VUR. Primary VUR occurs when a child is born with an impaired valve where the ureter joins the bladder. This happens if the ureter did not grow long enough during the child's development in the womb. The valve does not close properly, so urine backs up (refluxes) from the bladder to the ureters, and eventually to the kidneys. This type of VUR can get better or disappear as the child gets older. The ureter gets longer as the child grows, which improves the function of the valve. Secondary VUR occurs when there is a blockage anywhere in the urinary system. The blockage may be caused by an infection in the bladder that leads to swelling of the ureter. This also causes a reflux of urine to the kidneys.

Extractions: Department of Urology at the Michigan Urology Center Patient Information Clinical Specialties Residency and Fellowships Research Programs ... Department History Vesicoureteral Reflux The Normal Urinary Tract The kidneys filter the blood and extract waste products from the blood to make urine. Urine passes from the kidneys, down the ureters, and into the bladder for storage prior to urination. The ureter enters the bladder wall at an angle so that a flap valve is created. This valve prevents urine that is in the bladder from backing up and returning into the ureter. Thus, when the bladder fills and later when it squeezes down to empty, back-up (reflux) is prevented because the valve operates in the same way as you might step on a straw. This valve-like action creates an important barrier that helps keep the kidneys free of bacteria. Once urine has passed from the upper urinary tract into the bladder, the normal valve not only makes certain that urine does not re-enter the upper tracts but also that the high pressures created at the moment of urination are not transmitted to the kidneys. Another important feature of the competent valve (ureterovesical junction) is that it permits you to remove all of the stored urine from the body with a single act of urination - because the bladder urine has nowhere to go other than out the urethra.

VUR occurs when urine that resides in the bladder flows back into the ureters and back into the kidney. Normally, urine flows down from the kidneys and passes through tubes called the ureters, which then enter the bladder. When a child has vesicoureteral reflux, the urine flows in the wrong direction into the kidney, which causes the bacteria that normally leave the body in the urine to come back into the kidney. This, in turn, causes pylonephritis, which is an infection of the kidney. How common is vesicoureteral reflux? About 30 years ago, when children were brought into to see their doctor, the main diagnosis from the symptoms of VUR was a urinary tract infection (UTI). Then if a child's UTI was investigated further, it would be found that the child had vesicoureteral reflux. Now, because of more awareness about VUR, children are diagnosed earlier. Approximately 30 to 40 percent of children who have a urinary tract infection are found to have reflux. In most cases, it is a febrile UTI, meaning the child has a high fever, as there may have been a kidney infection.

This test will usually take fifteen to fourty five minutes. Sometimes it may last longer, if your child does not void (urinate). A radionucleide cystogram (RNC) - during which the bladder is filled with a dye that will demonstrate urine regurgitating up into the kidney. This test will usually take fifteen to fourty five minutes. Sometimes it may last longer, if your child does not void (urinate). Genetic pre-disposition for having reflux - parents' offspring are also at risk for reflux. Therefore, prior to birth, an ultrasound can be done on the mom, to see if there is any swelling of the kidneys in the fetus. Reflux is then diagnosed when the baby is about one month old. It is shown that 10 to 20 percent of children with prenatal hydronephrosis do have reflux. Additionally, siblings of children with reflux have a 30 percent chance of having reflux. Therefore, screening of siblings is recommended. After a urinary tract infection (UTI) - using a urinalysis and a urine culture, VUR is often diagnosed, as a result of a UTI.

http://www.med.wayne.edu/urology/DISEASES/vesicoureteralreflux.html

Extractions: Reflux in the urinary tract means that urine is able to get back up into the kidney after it has drained down into the bladder. The problem is seen more frequently in girls and is usually present from the time of birth. It may occur in one or both sides, and is more likely to be present in children with an abnormal or obstructed bladder. Reflux is usually discovered because a child has a urinary tract infection (UTI). Also, it may be suspected because there is enlargement of the kidney drainage system on an ultrasound test done either before or after birth. The test that detects reflux is called the voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). This test is an X-ray of the bladder that is performed in either the radiology or nuclear medicine department. A catheter (tube) is passed into the bladder and the bladder is filled with a substance that allows us to see the bladder. Pictures are then taken until the bladder is full and the child urinates. If the x-ray material is seen in the ureters or kidneys then we know that reflux is present. Urination is an important part of the test, since sometimes reflux does not appear until the bladder starts to empty. That's why we do not usually give sedation or anesthesia to do this test.
