Abstract
The clinical implication from this study of small children with high-grade VUR was that a large bladder on VCUG was synonymous with a high-capacity bladder. According to earlier studies, this is a sign of LUT dysfunction in this age group and should therefore be an indicator for additional studies of bladder function. Overactive contractions could also be recognised in VCUG, but only at the infant evaluation, which should also be regarded as an indicator of LUT dysfunction. All other bladder VCUG signs mainly seen during early infancy were signs of immature bladder function and not a result of VUR dysfunction.
