Urine Flow Curve Shapes in Adults with Earlier Vesicoureteral Reflux

Adult patients with childhood VUR have abnormal urine flow curve shapes and UTIs significantly more often than controls (p = 0.00005 and p = 0.04, respectively). Patients who were operated on for VUR especially seemed to have an interrupted or weak flow curve shape. A high percentage of these patients also suffered from urgency and stress incontinence and annual UTIs.
