A member asked:
My 5 years male child has 2 small scars on left kidney. rt is not functional due to puv at birth time. all tests are normal now. pls advice for future?

Renal Scarring: Posterior Urethral Valves can cause congenital damage and destruction to the kidneys. Your child's condition was managed at birth by fulguration procedure. With one functioning kidney remaining (albeit scarred) and normal blood tests currently, your child should receive yearly routine physical exams with special attention to his kidney function, overall growth pattern, and sports participation.
