What Is Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)?
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) occurs when urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters and kidneys, instead of only downward and out of the body. It is a common cause of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children and can sometimes be detected on a prenatal scan.
