Prediction of High-grade Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children Younger Than 2 Years Using Renal Sonography: A Preliminary Study

Conclusions—
The negative predictive values indicate that normal renal sonographic and DMSA findings can predict the absence of high-grade VUR. We propose that renal sonographic findings of wall thickening as well as dilatation of the renal collecting system should be considered predictive of high-grade VUR.
