title: [Intermittent bladder-ureteral reflux in children].
abstract: Basing on the results of a combined clinical and laboratory examination of 193 children treated in the Research Institute of Urology in 1992-1999, the authors studied causes underlying intermittent vesicoureteral reflux (IVR) in correlation with anatomo-functional changes in vesicoureteral anastomosis and severity of inflammation in the urinary bladder. They suggest a diagnostic algorithm of detecting IVR with assessment of gas cystography role in the diagnosis; give definition of IVR; describe therapeutic policy in accordance with functional state of the affected kidney and cause of IVR onset; analyse short- (6-12 months) and long-term (12-36 months) treatment results; outline methods of IVR prophylaxis to save and improve renal function.
