Dear Sir -
I am sorry your daughter has had such difficulty. And I'm afraid that as a general Pediatrician, I am really not qualified to answer your questions. I think I would encourage you to seek out the most qualified Pediatric Urologist you can find - and then put your faith in his or her recommendations. I must say that I am concerned about your daughter's recurrent bouts of pain - and the potential for ongoing loss of kidney function. Perhaps a surgical procedure could address both of these issues.
Good luck - Dr. EV
