Webcast: Urinary Tract Infection & Vesicoureteral Reflux04:33

Urinary tract infections and vesicoureteral reflux are serious health problems affecting millions of people each year. In fact, they are the second most common type of infection in the body. Children who go undetected for urinary tract infections can suffer from far more severe conditions such as high blood pressure and bladder infections when they become adults. Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC has performed more than two decades of research on Urinary Tract Infections and Vesicoureteral Reflux, and is now engaged in a nationwide study to determine the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment in babies. Join the nation’s preeminent authorities on UTI and VUR — Alejandro Hoberman, MD, chief, General Academic Pediatrics, and Steven G. Docimo, MD, chief, Pediatric Urology — for the next in our series of live Webcasts that will analyze the importance and necessity of these critical methods and procedures.
