Question
Lately, my sister’s baby has been diagnosed with pediatric primary bladder ureteral reflux nephropathy, and I have been very worried about the child’s health. I especially want to help my sister treat her nephew’s illness quickly and hope the baby grows up healthy.
Answer
Pediatric bladder ureteral reflux occurs when urine flows back from the bladder into the ureter and renal pelvis due to an abnormal connection of the ureter. Primary bladder ureteral reflux is caused by congenital abnormalities in the ureteral connection and does not involve any underlying neuromuscular disorders or obstructions. Treatment is categorized into primary and secondary.
