A prospective study was established to identify the incidence of vesicoureteral reflux in the asymptomatic siblings of patients with reflux in our region. Of 32 patients with reflux, 37 siblings were screened with urine analysis, urine culture and contrast voiding cystourethrograms, and six (16.2%) were found to have reflux. Renal scan revealed scarring in five. We concluded that siblings of children with vesicoureteral reflux are at high risk, and must be screened so that renal damage and associated morbidity secondary to reflux might be minimized.
一项前瞻性研究旨在确定我们地区反流患者无症状兄弟姐妹中膀胱输尿管反流的发生率。在32例反流患者中，对37名兄弟姐妹进行了尿液分析、尿培养和排尿性膀胱尿道造影检查，发现6例（16.2%）有反流。肾扫描显示5例有瘢痕形成。我们得出结论，膀胱输尿管反流患儿的兄弟姐妹风险很高，必须进行筛查，以便将反流继发的肾损害和相关发病率降至最低。
