Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) grading divides vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) according to the height of reflux up the ureters and degree of dilatation of the ureters:
-
grade 1: reflux limited to the ureter
-
grade 2: reflux up to the renal pelvis
-
grade 3: mild dilatation of ureter and pelvicalyceal system
-
grade 4
- tortuous ureter with moderate dilatation
- blunting of fornices but preserved papillary impressions
-
grade 5
- tortuous ureter with severe dilatation of ureter and pelvicalyceal system
- loss of fornices and papillary impressions 2
It is important to note that each side may have a different grade of reflux.
