Reflux nephropathy

Alternate Names : Chronic atrophic pyelonephritis, Vesicoureteric reflux, Nephropathy - reflux, Ureteral reflux

Pictures & Images

One method of examining bladder function is by injecting dye that is visible on X-rays through a tube (catheter) to fill the bladder. X-rays are taken while the bladder is full and while the patient is urinating (voiding) to determine if fluid is forced out of the bladder through the urethra (normal) or up through the ureters into the kidney (vesicoureteral reflux). This study is usually done with the patient lying on an X-ray table.
