Abstract
In patients with posterior urethral valves vesicoureteral reflux is often associated with poorly functioning kidneys. Accordingly patients with bilateral reflux have decreased overall kidney function. Reflux resolves in half of ureters within 2 years after valve ablation. Reflux resolves more rapidly in unilateral cases.
