[End-stage chronic renal failure in patients treated by antireflux operation].
We report 3 patients progressed to end-stage chronic renal failure after antireflux surgery. Preoperatively, the 3 patients had proteinuria, probably due to reflux nephropathy. Surgical procedures used were Paquin's method in 1 patient and Politano-Leadbetter's method in 2. Rapid deterioration of renal function was observed from puberty in all patients. In addition, renal hypoplasia was suspected in 2 patients. We concluded that both reflux nephropathy and renal hypoplasia played important roles in the progression of renal insufficiency.
