Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 sometimes there is increased pressure in the bladder which causes urine to reflux upwards back into the ureters and back towards or into the kidney (where it just drained from). sometimes the problem is that the ureters are implanted on the bladder wall in an incorrect position and this causes the urine to go back up into the kidney instead of draining completely into the bladder. The pressure problem can be such that it scars the kidney(s). This is what the ultrasound will show, if there has been any scarring from pressure or repeat UTI's.
