Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is the most common disease of the urinary tract in children, occurring in 1% to 2% of the pediatric population and in 30% to 40% of children presenting with a urinary tract infection (UTI). The familial nature of VUR is well recognized. Siblings of children with VUR are at a much higher risk for reflux than the general pediatric population, with a reported prevalence between 25% and 50%. The association of VUR, febrile UTI, and renal parenchymal damage is well recognized. Reflux nephropathy is a cause of childhood hypertension and chronic renal failure.
