VUR appears to be an inherited condition and is reported in approximately one third of siblings of index cases.

Clinical presentation was established in 122; 92 had urinary tract infections and 16 had abnormal antenatal renal scans. RN was radiologically proven in 223 patients. Four patients had been transplanted; none were on dialysis. In 174 others aged &gt;1 year, estimated GFR (eGFR) was calculated.
