What are UTI RFs?
Constipation VUR Obstruction Neurogenic bladder Poor hygiene Catherization Sexual activity
What are the classic s/s of cystitis in school aged children?
frequency, dysuria, urgency, flank pain
How do you dx UTI? What is gold standard?
UA: pyuria, nitrite
Gold = urine culture
How do you treat a UTI?

What is vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)?
Reflux of urine from bladder into ureter/upper urinary tract
VUR is most common in what population?
White females
30-45% of children w/ febrile UTI
What are the 2 types of VUR?
Primary (short ureters): congenital, MC form
Secondary (blockage): high voiding pressure –> failure to close UVJ
How do you dx VUR?
Prenatal U/S: hydronephrosis
Postnatal: Renal & bladder U/S
If febrile –> voiding cystourethrogram
What are the different grades of VCUG reflux?
I: reflux into ureter
II: reflux into kidneys
III: reflux into kidneys w/ dilation of ureter
IV: reflux w/ dilation of ureter & mild calyceal blunting
V: reflux w/ dilation of ureter & calyceal blunting
How do you treat VUR grade I & II?
Monitor for spontaneous resolution
Consider prophylactic abx
How do you treat VUR grade III-V?
Abx prophylaxis
TMP-SMX or nitrofurantoin
What is the MC cause of urinary tract obstruction in the newborn male?
Posterior urethral valves (PUV)
What is PUV?
Obstructing membranous folds within the lumen of the posterior urethra
How do you dx PUV?
Prenatal U/S: bilateral hydronephrosis, distended & thickened bladder, oligohydramnios
Postnatal: VCUG
How do you treat PUV prenatally?
Vesicoamniotic shunt
How do you treat PUV postnatally?
Correct electrolytes
Foley cath
Ablation
What is the follow up care for PUV?
May require clean intermittent catherization
Monitor for renal failure, UTIs
