Vesicoureteral reflux in the monkey: a review.
Reflux is frequent in infant but uncommon in adult monkeys. Maturation of the ureterovesical junction thus occurs. Infection causes reflux only when the ureterovesical junction has been made marginally competent. Neither vesicoureteral nor intrarenal reflux affects renal function unless either infection or obstruction is present.
