Overview
Vesicoureteral Reflux
Vesicoureteral Reflux is a condition in which urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood. Early stages may have few symptoms, but advanced disease can lead to complications such as anemia, high blood pressure, bone disease, electrolyte imbalances, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease.
