Description

Recently there have been recommendations from many different groups - the AAP; AUA; RIVUR study; and the AAP Section of Urology on evaluation and treatment guidelines. Many of these contradict each other. Does evaluation start at the top down or bottom up? Do we use prophylactic antibiotics? Are they useful? A point-counter point discussion of these controversies/recommendations will be presented. Bring your questions and experiences to share in an open discussion.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe VUR vesico-ureteral reflux; associated conditions and long term consequences of untreated VUR?
• Identify updated approaches in the management of VUR?
• Discuss appropriate evaluation of UTI?
• Discuss advantages and disadvantages of current treatment modalities?
