Suggest Risk With Kidney Reflux With Scars
My daughter has kidney reflux in her left kidney, she is 5 years old. She has severe kidney scarring and her kidney was functioning at 32 % last August, since then she has had about 5 kidney infections - should we be concerened about her future kidney functioning? Will this result in problems later in life?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Long standing reflux can result in scarring of the kidney and later kidney failure. It has to be corrected surgically to prevent further complications including scarring and kidney failure. Consult a urologist and most probably she will require surgical correction like pyeloplasty.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
