Vesico Ureteric Reflux - Diagnosis

A test called MCU is done to diagnose VUR. In this a special radio opaque dye is injected via a catheter into the bladder. X-rays are taken while the child passes urine. Normally urine should not go up towards kidneys. But in children with VUR it goes up.

There is a slightly higher chance in future kids to have VUR when there is a kid with this problem in the family.
