Ive never heard of this condition before, but i got to know it cause my baby have this condition. Vesicoureteral Reflux is the backup of urine from the organ that stores urine (bladder) into the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder (ureter) during urination. VUR may result in urine reflux into the renal pelvis, causing distention (hydronephrosis) and kidney damage. In children, this condition is usually caused by an abnormality that is present at birth (congenital) and is often diagnosed during prenatal ultrasound.
Keona has a Grade III type reflux which results in urine reflux into the ureter and the renal pelvis, causing mild hydronephrosis. Our doctor advice us that if she ever will have a break through we will have no choice but to have a surgical correction, which may cost $2500-3000. But if this will do the job then me and my wife will go for it, than rather have my baby go through every month having high fever.
