Beskrivning

Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is the most common disease of the urinary tract in children, occurring in 1% to 2% of the pediatric population and in 30% to 40% of children presenting with a urinary tract infection (UTI). The familial nature of VUR is well recognized. Siblings of children with VUR are at a much higher risk for reflux than the general pediatric population, with a reported prevalence between 25% and 50%. The association of VUR, febrile UTI, and renal parenchymal damage is well recognized. Reflux nephropathy is a cause of childhood hypertension and chronic renal failure.This first book on vesicoureteral reflux is authoritative, comprehensive, and up-to-date, written by the world’s foremost experts. It provides detailed information and guidance on the management of VUR to pediatric urologists, pediatric surgeons, pediatric nephrologists, pediatricians, neonatologists, and other health professionals in the field.
