What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on the quality of life in school-aged children who have been treated for posterior urethral valves (PUV), a congenital condition that can lead to significant urinary and renal complications. The study aims to evaluate the long-term effects of PUV treatment on renal function and overall well-being, particularly in relation to chronic kidney disease and urinary incontinence. Participants will be male patients aged 6 to 17 years who were treated for PUV in their first year of life at a specific hospital in Lyon. The study will gather data through quality of life questionnaires completed by the patients and their families.
