Recurrent UTIs & VUR Symptoms - Katie's Story with Deflux

Hear from mom, Sam, about daughter Katie's recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), which led to Katie's diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).

UTIs and kidney reflux:
About 20-50% of children who have symptomatic recurrent UTIs are diagnosed with Vesicoureteral Reflux*
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney reflux, also known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) are known to be associated. If your child has frequent UTIs with fever (which your doctor may call “febrile UTIs or fUTIs”), VUR may be involved.

Among children with first-time febrile UTI, about 40% have VUR.*

Signs of UTIs include:

Foul smelling or cloudy urine
Burning or pain when urinating
Frequent and urgent urination
Headache
Fever
Stomachache
Vomiting
Backache
Side pain
Irritability
