Intrarenal reflux and renal damage.

H H Bourne, V R Condon, T S Hoyt

    The Journal of Urology
    |March 1, 1976

    Summary

    Intrarenal reflux, a condition where dye flows backward into kidney tubules, is linked to renal cortical atrophy in children. Early detection and intervention, such as ureteroneocystostomy, are crucial for preventing kidney damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Intrarenal reflux (IR) involves retrograde flow of urine from the renal pelvis into collecting tubules.
    • It is often associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children.
    • The impact of IR on renal parenchyma requires further understanding.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the occurrence and effects of intrarenal reflux in children.
    • To determine the correlation between IR and renal damage, specifically cortical atrophy.
    • To establish the indication for surgical intervention in cases of IR.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 175 pediatric patients with excretory urograms showing cortical atrophy.
    • Review of cystograms to identify vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
    • Assessment of intrarenal reflux (IR) incidence and its association with renal lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Cortical atrophy was observed in 175 patients; 68% had VUR.
    • IR was identified in 8 patients under 6 years old (13.5% incidence in this age group).
    • A strong correlation (87.5%) was found between IR sites and renal cortical atrophy/calicectasis.

    Conclusions:

    • Intrarenal reflux is a significant pathway for bacterial and pressure-induced renal injury.
    • The findings highlight the association between IR and progressive renal damage.
    • The presence of intrarenal reflux is an absolute indication for ureteroneocystostomy.
