45
T or F. Asymptomatic bacteriuria should be treated with antibiotics.
False. Asymptomatic bacteriurea should not be treated with Abx unless there are many leukocytes in the UA.
46
Vesicourethral refux (VUR) is
A congenital disorder that causes regurg from the bladder to the kidneys. (Grade I-V)
47
VUR grade II will require surgical repair (T or F)
FALSE. Most Grade I and II VUR will resolve as the child grows.
48
VUR grade IV and V occurs when
There is distention of the ureters/renal pelvis, hydronephrosis and reflux into the intra-renal collecting system. This requires specialty eval and surgical repair.
