| Abstract: | The final status of the kidneys of 129 children suffering from vesico-ureteric reflux was studied. The growth of the kidneys was comparable in the surgically treated and in the medically treated group. However, growth was better when the kidneys had been normal initially than when they presented renal scars. New scars were more frequent in the medically treated group, and/or when scars were already present at diagnosis of vesico-ureteric reflux. Our results are in agreement with those in the literature. |
