Congenital vesico-uretero-renal reflux is a condition in which the bladder abnormally refluxes urine back up the ureters into the kidneys, causing an increased risk of urinary tract infections and potential kidney damage. it is usually present at birth, and is caused by a defect in the valves of the ureters that normally prevent backflow of urine.
What happens during the disease - congenital vesico-uretero-renal reflux
