About Vesico Ureteric Reflux

In normal state, the urine travels in a one-way direction from kidneys to the bladder via the ureter.

Once in bladder, the urine does not go back up either during storage or emptying. But in children with Vesico Ureteric Reflux (VUR), the urine goes upstream towards the kidneys. Because of this the kidneys are exposed to serious infection and scarring during any urinary infection.
