Among 66 checked renal units, 42 units had VUR and 24 units had not Reflux. Renal Scar was observed in %64 units with VUR and %12.5 of renal units without VUR. In male patients 11 units and in Female’s children 31 units had reflux. Renal scar was observed in upper pole (%47) middle pole (%22) and lower pole (%31). Renal Scar was observed in 11 units of the right kidney and 16 units of the left kidney. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that male and age lower than 2 years old had higher risk for VUR and scar. There is no relationship between the age of children and Renal Scar (P>0.05).
