My daugther has been diagnosed with VUR grade 4 when she was one month old. Since then she has been on antibiotics (bactrum) to avoid any UTI We’ve been lucky as she has never got a UTI She is now 1 year old, and based on the ultrasound and VCUG she just had this week the reflux grade hasn’t change. The doctor who did the VCUG told us that it remains the same as last year. Tomorrow we have an appointment with her urologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I’m worried about the outcomes of this visit. I read a couple of histories about kids going under surgery to get this problem corrected. But I’m concerned since my daughter is only 1 year old. Does anybody know about any disadvantages of getting this surgery done at a young age?
