Laboratory Findings

Reflux nephropathy is often found when a child is checked for repeated bladder infections. If vesicoureteral reflux is discovered, the child's siblings may also be checked, because reflux can run in families.

The blood pressure may be high, and there may be signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease.

Blood and urine tests will be done, and may include:

• BUN - blood
• Creatinine - blood
• Creatinine clearance -- urine and blood
• Urinalysis or 24-hour urine studies
• Urine culture
