IMPACT OF VESICOURETERAL REFLUX ON THE SIZE OF RENAL LESIONS AFTER AN EPISODE OF ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS

VUR has an impact on the size of renal lesions after an episode of pyelonephritis. Children with a grade III or IV reflux are more likely to have larger renal scars. On the other hand, acute lesions of important size may develop even in the absence of VUR.
