Abstract

Lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction is a leading cause of pediatric end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It is estimated that 15–25 % of children with ESRD have associated anatomic urological abnormalities that result in LUT dysfunction [1]. These problems may persist into adulthood and also comprise an important cause of ESRD in approximately 6 % of the older population [2]. It was previously thought that renal transplantation in the setting of an abnormal LUT was unfeasible and these patients were generally considered poor candidates for transplantation [1, 3–5].
