RESUMEN
Objective To explore the relationship between congenital vesical ureteral reflux(VUR) and bladder dysfunction in children through videourodynamic examination.Methods Sixty-seven children with congenital VUR in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Apr.2011 to Jul.2013 were included,and their clinical information of urnary tract infection,detrusor activity,dysfunctional voiding and grade of VUR were recorded.All the children were categorized as normal,isolated detrusor overactivity (DO)and dysfunctional voiding (DV) (with or without DO) according to the manifestation of urodynamic patterns,who were also divided into groups of low grade (Ⅰ-Ⅱ) VUR or high grade (Ⅲ-Ⅴ) VUR.Data of video-urodynamic examination,urinalysis,and voiding cystourethrogram were collected to investigate the relationship between bladder dysfunction,sides and grade of VUR and urinary tract infection.Results Totally 73.1％ (49/67 cases) of children with VUR were found having bladder dysfunction,which consisted of 49.3％ (33/49 cases) of DO,23.8％ (16/49 cases) of DV.Children with isolated DO tended to manifest unilateral,low grade reflux (grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ) with less urinary infection.However,children with DV,isolated or combined with DO manifest bilateral,high grade reflux(grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ),and often with urinary infection.Conclusions Video urodynamic study is useful for evaluation of bladder function in children with VUR,which is important in management of VUR.
