Abstract

One family with all four children affected by vesicoureteral reflux is reported. The mother of children has shrinking kidneys. The possibility, that the congenital abnormality of vesicoureteral reflux is inherited, is discussed. The awareness, that reflux may be familial, led to search for the abnormality in close relatives.
