Management of Urinary Tract Infections and Vesicoureteric Reflux: Key Updates from Revised Indian Society of Pediatric Nephrology Guidelines 2023

Abstract

Non-specific symptoms and difficulty in collecting urine specimens make diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) challenging in young children. However, timely diagnosis and initiation of therapy are essential to prevent complications. Children with recurrent UTIs require detailed evaluation and follow-up for optimal management. We report key updates from revised evidence-based practice guidelines of the Indian Society of Pediatric Nephrology for urinary tract infections and primary vesicoureteric reflux.
