Do any of your kids have this? My daughter is preparing for surgery and I just wanted to know what to expect. I have posted a more detailed thread in Urology.

My son had his ureta tubes reimplanted when he was 5 months old. He was born with 1 kidney the size of a pea and the other less than half the size it should be. He sees a nephrologist every 6 to 12 mths for ultrasounds and GFR tests . He is a strapping lad of 19 now and lives like any other kid his age. He keeps a check on his diet as he is to be on a high carbohydrate/low protein diet. It was found by him continually having high fevers and UTI"s from the reflux.
