Dear Michelle Thanks for your questions. Vesicoureteral reflux is a common occurrence. The angle is so acute that the urine is able to flow back up toward the kidney. Authors say that reflux itself is not a problem but coupled with bacteria spells trouble. Grade three has about a fifty -fifty chance of resolving by the age of five.
Treatment includes antibiotics to prevent infections while the young kidney is susceptible.
There is some debate about adolescent females with reflux and no infections. Hope this has answered your questions and will stimulate dialog with your physician. We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
