ABSTRACT
Primary vesicoureteral reflux often spontaneously resolves in children. However, in select patients, untreated reflux can contribute to recurrent pyelonephritis leading to irreversible renal damage. Management is therefore based on a given child's likelihood of recurrent urinary tract infections and risk of subsequent renal parenchymal injury. Therapeutic options for urinary reflux are diverse, ranging from observation with or without continuous low-dose antibiotic prophylaxis to a variety of operative interventions.
