[Effect of vesicoureteral reflux on kidney density in children].
In 59 children with vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) renal echogenicity was analyzed. The density of the kidneys increase with the intensity of the VUR. The children with VUR grade 1 and 2 mainly showed a normal report. In 50% of the cases with VUR grade 3, a normal report was also found, whereas in the other 50% echogenicity was increased to 1 and 2. Highly significant increases in renal density were seen in ultrasound in children with VUR grade 4-5.
