Changes in Clinical Presentation and Renal Outcomes Among Children with fUTIs: Review

In this episode Dr. Ted Lee discusses his findings and thoughts based on recent studies that demonstrate trends of decreasing voiding cystourethrogram utilization rates and delayed vesicoureteral reflux diagnosis in some children. He explores the possibility that such delays could lead to more children sustaining repeated episodes of febrile urinary tract infection, and potential kidney injury, prior to diagnosis and treatment.
