[Relationships between posterior urethral valves, vesico-renal reflux and renal dysplasia].
Children with valves of the posterior urethra show asymmetric involvement of the upper urinary system with a nonfunctional kidney in 10 to 15% of cases. In a study of 12 nephrectomy patients and 14 reflux patients, the authors reached the conclusion that valvular obstruction, vesico-renal reflux and dysplasia are coexisting anomalies with little relationship between each other.
