- Authors
Passamaneck, MiChelle
- Abstract
Pediatric vesicoureteral reflux is recognized in children whose ureterovesical valve is incompetent, resulting in flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder and back to the kidney. It is a disease process with a rapidly changing management paradigm; more research is being done to determine the long-term outcomes for those affected in both childhood and adulthood. This article will provide a brief overview of current management and discuss the role of the advanced practice registered nurse with families.
