Long-term Conservative Follow-up in Children with High-grade Vesicoureteral Reflux and an Abnormal Dimercaptosuccinic Acid Scan by Pankaj V Deshpande

“…A total of 59 children (39 boys and 20 girls) (72%) had MCUG done after UTI while 20 (19 boys and one girl) (24%) children had it done for antenatal hydronephrosis (four of whom had developed UTI immediately after MCUG but had remained free of UTIs thereafter). Conclusion: Conservative management of high-grade VUR, either unilateral or bilateral, in children with an abnormal DMSA does not lead to recurrent severe UTIs. …”
