Abstract excerpt
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) can cause retrograde urine flow under voiding pressure, facilitating ascending bacterial colonisation and recurrent inflammatory responses. These processes trigger a cascade of cellular and molecular events-innate immune activation, pro-inflammatory cytokine release, oxidative stress, apoptosis and extracellular matrix deposition-thereby promoting tubulointerstitial remodelling and...
