Reflux nephropathy in children

Reflux nephropathy largely follows intrarenal reflux of infected urine. However, this mechanism is certainly not unequivocal and lesions can occur without reflux being present. The term reflux nephropathy could therefore be replaced by reflux nephropathy, meaning that reflux is associated with other phenomena of pressure variations, immunological, inflammatory and ischemic phenomena.Early and adapted management could slow down the evolution of chronic renal disease.
