This is the information I got off google - what vcug tests for?

diagnose vesicoureteral reflux, a condition in which urine flows the wrong way, from the bladder back up to the kidneys
determine why your child has recurring urinary tract infections
discover if antibiotic treatment or anti-reflux surgery was effective
check if there are any abnormalities or blockages of the urethra

Is it true? I thought it only tests for reflux? According to this is tests for obstruction too.
Apparently it doesn't test for abnormalities of the urethra. That's what urologist told me.

Reflux and obstruction from what I remember. My infant had it done because 1 kidney was enlarged. BH normal for us, he just has a "large kidney" and we are watching. If he has unexplained fever we need to call the doctor for a test for a UTI and get antibiotics as baby will be more prone to them. If he had reflux then he would be on prophylactic antibiotics.

This is what my baby has. Right kidney is enlarged. Reflux was ruled out. We have to go back in May. I'm davening every day it should resolve.
