The impact of reflux pressure on renal scarring in children with sterile vesicoureteral reflux
2023, Journal of Pediatric UrologyCitation Excerpt :The VUR itself and the mechanism of renal scarring are complex phenomena. The scarring effect of VUR is documented by numerous animal and clinical studies with histological and radiological evidence [6,7]. The occurrence of VUR is in close relation with lower urinary tract function.

2017, African Journal of UrologyCitation Excerpt :John Sampson determined that it was the detrusor backing of the ureter that allowed for one-way urine flow [3]. It was not until the 1950s, however, that Hodson and Edwards discovered the association of VUR with renal scarring from bacterial infection [4]. This discovery was backed by an abundance of research demonstrating an exponential relationship between number of urinary tract infections, the grade of reflux and renal scarring.
Sonographic assessment of the effect of vesicoureteral reflux and urinary tract infections on growth of the pediatric solitary kidney
2015, Journal of Pediatric UrologyCitation Excerpt :A refluxing solitary kidney with UTI showed significantly lower rate at 0.27 cm/year (SE 0.04) than the rate of a non-refluxing kidney without UTI, a non-refluxing kidney with UTI, and a refluxing kidney without UTI (p < 0.001). Since Hodson reported on the likelihood of VUR in children with pyelonephritis and renal scarring in 1960 [1], several studies have associated decreased renal size and growth with the presence of VUR in patients with two functional renal units [7,8]. Historically, some workers reported increased growth after VUR correction procedures [9,10].
