    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and management of VUR.
    • To emphasize the critical role of healthcare providers in preventing renal scarring.
    • To underscore the necessity of patient and family education for improved compliance and care.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on VUR diagnosis and treatment controversies.
    • Analysis of the impact of early UTI intervention on renal outcomes.
