Vesicoureteral reflux in patients in end-stage chronic renal failure.
Vesicoureteral reflux was observed in 19 of 180 patients (10.5%) with end-stage chronic renal failure. The underlying disease in the patients with reflux was chronic glomerulonephritis in 8.3%, chronic pyelonephritis in 28.5% and renal hypoplasia in 40%. Reflux was bilateral in 13 patients and unilateral in six. Most likely bladder dysfunction due to uremia may have been the cause of the reflux.
