Subject: Vesicoureteral Reflux I was diagnosed with a vesicoureteral reflux at the age 2 and a half. I had a grade four and have severe scarring on my right kidney. My 3 anmd a half old daughter has her first Urinalysis which shows blood in her urine. Her doctor is concerned about her developing my reflux and has sceduled a follow-up urinalyisis for next week. If that has positive results we will go for the rest of the testing. My question is, can she be "developing" reflux ( in other words is this genetic)? I also have a 12 month old son, should we be looking at him too if it is genetic whether or not my daughter has it? Please help me with this, I am frightened because of my past history and experience. | |
