Br J Urol. 1978 Dec;50(7):479-84. doi: 10.1111/j.1464-410x.1978.tb06195.x.

Abstract

We have followed up 83% of a series of 166 patients with vesicoureteric reflux who were treated surgically more than 10 years ago. We found an incidence of hypertension of 12.8%. The need for careful follow-up of the blood pressure of patients with reflux nephropathy is stressed.
