TL;DR: The classification of grading of vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) agreed to by the participants in the International Reflux Study in Children is described and a standardised technique of voiding cystography is described to ensure comparability of results.
Abstract: The classification of grading of vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) agreed to by the participants in the International Reflux Study in Children is described. It combines two earlier classifications and is based upon the extent of filling and dilatation by VUR of the ureter, the renal pelvis and the calyces. A standardised technique of voiding cystography is also described to ensure comparability of results.

TL;DR: An ultrasonogram performed at the time of acute illness is of limited value, and a voiding cystourethrogram for the identification of reflux is useful only if antimicrobial prophylaxis is effective in reducing reinfections and renal scarring.
Abstract: Background Guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend obtaining a voiding cystourethrogram and a renal ultrasonogram for young children after a first urinary tract infection; renal scanning with technetium-99m–labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid has also been endorsed by other authorities. We investigated whether imaging studies altered management or improved outcomes in young children with a first febrile urinary tract infection. Methods In a prospective trial involving 309 children (1 to 24 months old), an ultrasonogram and an initial renal scan were obtained within 72 hours after diagnosis, contrast voiding cystourethrography was performed one month later, and renal scanning was repeated six months later. Results The ultrasonographic results were normal in 88 percent of the children (272 of 309); the identified abnormalities did not modify management. Acute pyelonephritis was diagnosed in 61 percent of the children (190 of 309). Thirty-nine percent of the children who underwent cystoureth...

TL;DR: This systematic meta-analysis identified increasing frequency of urinary tract infection, increasing grade of vesicoureteral reflux and presence of bladder and bowel dysfunction as unique risk factors for renal cortical scarring.

TL;DR: Endoscopic treatment with dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer was effective and well tolerated in children with vesicoureteral reflux and long-term followup indicated that there was no deterioration in patients responding positively to treatment.

TL;DR: The diagnosis and management of infants and children >2 months of age with an acute UTI and no known underlying urinary tract pathology or risk factors for a neurogenic bladder is focused on.
