Vesicoureteric reflux is the abnormal flow of urine from the bladder back up the ureters that connect the kidneys to the bladder.

This condition is usually diagnosed in children when they presented with urinary tract infection or ultrasound abdomen revealing dilated ureters. it increases the risk of urinary tract infections and if left untreated can lead to kidney damage.
