Abstract
Of 50 consecutive patients with end stage renal disease, 30% were found to have vesicoureteral reflux. This finding is at variance with the usually published etiologies of end stage renal disease. Of the patients with reflux, 40% had no history to suggest the presence of this entity. The clinical importance of reflux in the post-transplant period and its possible etiologic role in end stage renal disease is discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
