The purpose of this review is to analyze the modern literature about renal damage caused by vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). VUR is the most common urodynamic pathology in children and reflux nephropathy (RN), as its main complication, ranks first among the causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The risk factors for the appearance and progression of RN are presented in the first part of the review. In the framework of this issue, the main methods of treatment of VUR and associated urinary tract infection are described. The possibilities of conservative and surgical methods for the elimination of reflux for prevention of RN and prognosis of its course are considered.
