Conservative Treatment of Vesicoureteral Reflux in a Child 10 Years

This clinical example is interesting due to the fact that a patient complained of nocturnal enuresis only once over ten years. The thorough examination enabled to detect the presence of vesicoureteral reflux. For a long time reflux had no clinical manifestations, and there were none recorded cases of urinary tract infection. Furthermore, no reflux-nephropathy developed. The patient underwent a complex of conservative treatment procedures aimed at the elimination of dysmetabolic changes, urinary bladder detrusor hyperactivity, and infectious process prevention in urinary system. The complex of measures appeared to be effective: urinary bladder contractive activity normalized resulting in enuresis stopping and reflux regress.
