Abstract

We present 5 patients with urinary calculi and vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). In 4 patients the VUR was probably primary and in 1 it was secondary to the calculus disease. The incidence of calculi with reflux is approximately 0.5% whereas the incidence of reflux with calculi is approximately 8%.
