  2. What is Vesicoureteral Reflux? Vesicoureteral reflux is the abnormal flow of urine from your bladder back up the tubes (ureters) that join your kidneys to your bladder. Generally, urine flows from your kidneys through the ureters down to your bladder. It is not supposed to flow back up. Vesicoureteral reflux is generally diagnosed in infants and children. The disorder increases the risk of urinary tract infections, which, if left untreated, could lead to kidney damage. Children might outgrow primary vesicoureteral reflux. Treatment, which involves medication or surgery, aims at preventing kidney damage.

  3. Symptoms of Vesicoureteral Reflux Urinary tract infections commonly happen in people with vesicoureteral reflux. A urinary tract infection (UTI) does not always cause noticeable signs and symptoms, though most people have some. These signs and symptoms could include: A strong, continuous urge to urinate A burning feeling when urinating The requirement to pass small amounts of urine frequently Cloudy urine Fever Pain in your side (flank) or abdomen

  4. Causes of Vesicoureteral Reflux Vesicoureteral reflux could develop in two types, primary and secondary: Primary vesicoureteral reflux - Children with primary vesicoureteral reflux are born with a defect in the valve that usually prevents urine from flowing backward from the bladder into the ureters. Primary vesicoureteral reflux is the most common type.As your child grows, the ureters lengthen and straighten, which might improve valve function and ultimately correct the reflux. This type of vesicoureteral reflux tends to run in families, which indicates that it might be genetic, but the exact cause of the defect is unknown. Secondary vesicoureteral reflux - The cause of this form of reflux is most often from the failure of the bladder to empty properly, either because of a blockage or failure of the bladder muscle or damage to the nerves that control regular bladder emptying.
