Dear Dr.My son is 4.5 years old and has developed renal cortical scarring in left kidney due to Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). DMSA renal scan result for right/left kidney is 86%/14%. He is due to take his surgery for treating VUR. Is this renal cortical scarring curable under any of the branches of medical science (allopathy, homeopathy....)?
**1. At his age rule out tuberous sclerosis, on Hippel-Lindau disease.2. If he is to underwent surgery which means that the cyst is symptomatic or may cause/produce symptoms in later stages [Infection], thus follow what your urologist has recommended.3. Since your child is under observation thus follow the instructions of nephrologist and urologist. [since renal scan of left kidney is only 14%]4. Alternate system of medicine at his age is not effective, thus medicine are not prescribed.
