The genetics of primary vesico-ureteric reflux.

Inguinal bladder hernia associated with vesico-ureteric reflux.

The urinary bladder is frequently found as a component of inguinal herniae. This report describes a case of 'bladder hernia' associated with vesico-ureteric reflux. The current methods of investigation and subsequent treatment for this condition are reviewed along with the possible underlying cause of vesico-ureteric reflux in this case.

Evaluation of hypermobility syndrome associated with vesico-ureteric reflux in children

Aims Considering the etiology of hypermobility syndrome that is involvement of connective tissue as a result of a disruption in the synthesis of collagen, there is a possibility of other organs involvement such as urinary system which the structure of connective tissue plays an important role. The aim of this study was to determine the association of hypermobility syndrome with vesico-ureteric ...

Genes in the Ureteric Budding Pathway: Association Study on Vesico-Ureteral Reflux Patients

Vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) is the retrograde passage of urine from the bladder to the urinary tract and causes 8.5% of end-stage renal disease in children. It is a complex genetic developmental disorder, in which ectopic embryonal ureteric budding is implicated in the pathogenesis. VUR is part of the spectrum of Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT). We performed an ext...

Absence of PAX2 gene mutations in patients with primary familial vesicoureteric reflux.

Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) is a common childhood condition characterised by regurgitation of urine from the bladder to the kidney. It is the commonest cause of end stage renal failure in children and an important cause in adults. Primary VUR is often familial, suggesting that genetic factors play an important role in its aetiology. Recently, VUR was observed as part of a syndrome, involving op...
