Abstract
Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) as well as urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly when micturition abnormalities occur in the voiding phase. The most common presenting symptoms are urinary urgency and frequency, UTI, incontinence, holding behaviors, and dysuria; many children will also have concurrent constipation. Since LUTD is associated with lower VUR resolution rates, increased rates of breakthrough UTI, and increased rates of surgical treatment failure, successful management of VUR in the setting of LUTD requires therapy for the VUR as well as concomitant management of the LUTD to maximize treatment success. LUTD treatment should be applied sequentially, beginning with behavioral modification and progressing to pharmacologic agents, biofeedback, and neuromodulation in refractory patients.
