title: [Vesicoureteral reflux: diagnostics and therapy].
abstract: The current management of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) remains controversial. Recent well thought-out randomized studies on VUR in children have led to a debate on diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms. Individual parameters, such as age, gender, clinical course, renal function and scars, dysfunctional elimination syndrome and last but not least the compliance of the parents have gained in importance. Regarding recent data this article gives a summary of diagnostic steps and therapeutic management of VUR.
