Outcome of posterior urethral valve in 64 children. Single center experience of 22 years.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm that PUV has a considerable risk for CKD development. Antenatal diagnosis, management of proteinuria and hypertension may modify this progression. But already injured kidneys still have a potential risk. The need for further research to evaluate the impact of any intervention on long term renal outcome is obvious.
