As there is a good chance to reduce VUR spontaneously within the first few months, I would wait until the baby is around 1 year old. With conservative treatment and tight monitoring of renal function every three months including US and laboratory investigations.

No actual time, once the baby become stable , surgery can be done.. however If scarring is bilateral and severe, progressive chronic kidney disease may develop. Progressive scarring needs an assessment of the bladder and may be an indication for surgical intervention.

Answer 1

Is MCU the same as a void cystourethrogram? If this is so, our Unit does this around 6 weeks. Regarding repair, if there is a significant obstruction on a MAG3 scan done at around 6 weeks to 3 months, we aim for surgical repair at the time.
