Spontaneous decompression of the urinary tract following the development of unilateral VUR may act as a pressure vent - which leads to ipsilateral renal dysplasia but allows development of better renal function in the contralateral kidney (VURD syndrome).
Common paediatric renal conditions: few children in South Africa have access to dialysis or renal transplantation, so it is important to recognise kidney disease early enough to prevent progression to end-stage disease
