Abstract
Conclusions In our study the majority of infants with high grade reflux had decreased differential function and/or cortical defects. Parenchymal defects detected by 99m Tc-DMSA renal scintigraphy were often not identified by renal ultrasound. Therefore, 99m Tc-DMSA renal scintigraphy is especially useful for initially evaluating infants with high grade, sterile vesicoureteral reflux.Keywords
