vesicoureteral reflux –> predisposes to what?
predispose to acute pyelonephritis –> renal scarring –> irrev loss of renal fx
vesicoureteral reflux –> grading?
I: reflux into ureter II: reflux into renal pelvis III: blunted calyces IV: mod hydroureter V: severe tortuous hydroureter

ureterocele –> US appearance?
cyst within bladder
ureterocele –> VCUG appearance?
round filling defect in the bladder
