Abstract
The data show that moderate to severe renal scarring is associated with grade IV and V reflux, and male sex. The incidence of renal scarring is significantly lower in infants in whom high grade vesicoureteral reflux is detected by screening before the development of urinary tract infection. Early detection may prevent urinary tract infection related renal parenchymal scarring.
