There is small scaring on left kidney due to puv during child hood (now 5 years).how can i prevent further scarring on kidney.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prevent infection: The most likely cause of kidney scarring if the PUV has been corrected will be further infections of the kidney. The best way to prevent scarring is to prevent infection, and treat it right away if it occurs. Symptoms of urinary tract infection include fever, vomiting, nausea, burning on urination, pain in the back near where the ribs and spine meet, trouble urinating and frequent urination.
