Re: UTI- kidney reflux info

[Guest guest]

Sharon,

Here is a link to a page explaining kidney reflux, or as its technically

called vesicoureteral reflux. Kelsey had a bad UTI that led into a nasty

kidney infection, but we had been using lots of bubble bath, which was a

definite no-no! It was right when she was diagnosed and was taking a warm

bath 2 times every day, so we were trying to make them more fun for her.

Needless to say we learned our lesson. Our pediatrician wanted to have

Kelsey tested for reflux, but we opted not to do this since she only had one

infection (none since) and knowing the bubble bath probably started it.

Anyway, I've been told when children have problems with UTIs that they should

be checked for this, so that's why I was curious.
