Abstract
Overactive detrusor is a common finding after first episode of pyelonephritis. The dysfunction may explain the development of urinary tract infections in some children. There were no differences in the incidence of overactive detrusor or voiding pressures in patients with and without VUR, or in those with and without renal defects on DMSA scintigraphy. Urodynamic study is not a primary investigation in pyelonephritic children.
