Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is characterized by the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys. VUR may be associated with urinary tract infection (UTI), hydronephrosis, and abnormal kidney development (renal dysplasia).
Causes of Reflux. Normal, physiologic reflux is thought to be caused by relaxation of the muscle between the esophagus and stomach, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). In infants, the LES is thought to strengthen with time as reflux diminishes.
