When would you admit an infant to the hospital for IV abx?
- <3 months
- Septic
- Dehydrated
Define Vesicouretral Reflux (VUR)
Reflux of urine from bladder into ureter/upper urinary tract
When does the incidence of VUR increase?
infants w/ prenatal hydronephrosis
Who is VUR MC in?
White
Females
Strong FHx
What is the MC type of VUR?
Primary VUR
Define Primary VUR
Short Ureters: Incompetent or inadequate closure of ureterovesical junction
Congenital*
Define Secondary VUR
Abnormally hight voiding pressure in bladder=Blockage
- Functional bladder obstruction
- Anatomic dysfunction
Prenatal VUR sx’s
Hydronephrosis on US
Postnatal VUR sx’s
Febrile UTI
Prenatal imaging follow-up in UNILATERAL Hydronephrosis VUR visualized
Repat US @ 1 week of age
Prenatal imaging follow-up in BILATERAL hydronephrosis VUR visualized
Repat US + Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG)
Postnatal work-up with UTI in VUR
Renal and Bladder US
Postnatal work-up with FEBRILE UTI in VUR
Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG)
Grade I and II VUR treatment
