This paper suggests that different types of bladder dysfunction in PUV patients are no more than variations on the same basic pattern that would, with time, develop into detrusor failure.

A statistically significant increase in serum creatinine was noted at 10 years in children with PUVs but not in control patients. DOI: 10.1016/S0022-5347(01)65128-0
