Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) - Symptoms, Diagnosed, Treatment | AINU


VUR
What is Vesicoureteral Reflux?

Urine flows from the kidneys, through thin tubes called ureters, to the bladder. If urine flows from the bladder back into the ureters this is called vesicoureteral reflux.
With vesicoureteral reflux, urine flows back from the bladder to ureter then to the kidney. This may happen in one or both ureters. This condition occurs when the "flap valve" doesn’t work this lets urine flow back, due to this bacteria from the bladder can enter the kidney may cause a kidney infection that can lead to kidney damage.
When urine flows back from ureters to kidneys this can cause is more severe damage to kidneys. The more severe reflux is the greater risk of kidney damage if there is an infection present.

Symptoms of Vesicoureteral Reflux


  •          A burning sensation when urinating
  •          A strong, persistent urge to urinate
  •          The need to pass small amounts of urine frequently
  •          Cloudy urine
  •          Pain in your side or abdomen

How Is It Diagnosed?

VUR is found ultrasound, which uses sound waves to provide an image of the inside of your body.
One or more of these tests can also be used:

Voiding cystourethrogram: A thin plastic tube is injected with fluid and X-ray dye into your bladder. Then an X-ray machine takes a video while you pee to see whether the fluid goes backward from the bladder to reach kidneys.

Radionuclide cystogram: This process is similar to voiding cystourethrogram, except the contrasting dye is a radioactive material is detected by a nuclear scan.

Abdominal ultrasound: Sound waves are passed on the abdomen to create an image of the entire urinary tract. This could be used to find out how your kidneys are functioning.

Urodynamic: This test is done to see how well the bladder is collecting, holding, releasing urine.

Blood test: This test is done to examine the waste products that are usually removed from the blood by your kidneys. Blood tests give a report of how well kidneys are doing their job.

What’s the Treatment?

Doctors can use surgery to correct reflux and prevent urine from flowing back to the kidney. In some cases, treatment can include the use of bulking injections. Doctors inject a small amount of gel-like liquid into the bladder wall near the opening of the ureter.
