Background: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common pediatric urological condition associated with renal scarring, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. Contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (ceVUS) has emerged as a promising technique for diagnosing and evaluating VUR, with intrarenal reflux (IRR) often detected using this method. This study aimed to explore the relationship between different VUR grades and IRR on ceVUS, and assess the impact of VUR and IRR on kidney size and function.
