VU Reflux
VU reflux, or vesicoureteral reflux, is backward flow of urine from the bladder toward the kidneys and can lead to repeated infections or kidney scarring.
At Urocare Urology Superspeciality Clinic, Dr. Srikanth provides focused care for VU Reflux with a patient-specific plan. The aim is to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and choose the safest effective treatment for lasting improvement.
Key Concerns in VU Reflux
- Children may present with repeated UTIs, fever, urinary symptoms, or abnormal kidney scans.
- Children need age-appropriate assessment that protects growth, kidney function, and future development.
- Many paediatric conditions are congenital, while others present with pain, swelling, or infection later.
- Early diagnosis can reduce the risk of long-term urinary or reproductive complications.
- Parents benefit from a clear explanation of what needs monitoring and what needs treatment.
Treatment planning is guided by symptoms, examination findings, medical history, age, associated conditions, and the need to preserve long-term urinary and overall health.
Evaluation and Treatment for VU Reflux
- Assessment can include urine tests, ultrasound, and reflux-specific imaging to grade the severity and monitor kidney impact.
- Treatment may involve infection prevention, follow-up imaging, bladder care, and surgery in selected higher-grade cases.
- Care is planned with attention to age, symptoms, scan findings, and the least invasive effective option.
- Surgery is advised only when the condition clearly warrants correction or protection of function.
- Follow-up is especially important in children with congenital or recurrent urinary problems.
