VUR & PUV (Vesicoureteral Reflux & Posterior Urethral Valve)

VUR & PUV (Vesicoureteral Reflux & Posterior Urethral Valve)

VUR and PUV are congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract that can lead to repeated UTIs, kidney damage, and impaired bladder function. Dr. Anunaya Katiyar provides precise diagnosis and treatment for these conditions using advanced imaging techniques like MCUG, ultrasound, and renal scans.
In children with VUR, urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys, increasing infection risk. PUV causes obstruction in the urinary tract of male infants. Dr. Katiyar offers both medical and surgical management based on severity. Preventive care focuses on timely antibiotic prophylaxis, bladder training, and regular follow-ups to avoid kidney damage.
With her deep understanding of pediatric urology and nephrology, Dr. Katiyar ensures every child receives customized care that promotes long-term kidney health and improved bladder control.
