Disappearance of vesicoureteral reflux in children

Article Abstract:

Urinary reflux to the kidneys in children with urinary tract infection frequently resolves spontaneously in several years without aggressive therapy. Researchers evaluated the frequency and spontaneous regression of vesicoureteral reflux in 232 children, which can result in scarring of the kidneys. Reflux was identified in 34% of girls and 31% of boys, and almost half of the children had a fever. Reflux disappeared within 5 years in 50% of children and within 10 years in 73% of children. Reflux took significantly longer to resolve in girls than in boys.

Renal Function 16 to 26 Years After the First Urinary Tract Infection in Childhood

Article Abstract:

Children who have a urinary tract infection should be followed up periodically to assess their kidney function. Urinary tract infection can scar the kidneys, which can lead to kidney disease. In a study of 108 men and women who had urinary tract infection as children, kidney function was similar in those with and without scarring. Those with scarring of both kidneys had reduced kidney function compared to those with no scarring or scarring of only one kidney.
