My 1 year old daughter was born with only one functioning kidney. The right one has been classed as dysplastic, she has cysts elsewhere also attatched to her bladder and ovaries.
The doctors finally managed to perform the cystogram yesterday (tried at 5 months and failed) it has shown that she has reflux. We don't know the severity of it yet as we don't see the urologist again until april. My concern now is whether the reflux could cause problems with the remaining kidney and if so will she end up needing dialysis in the future. Her general health at the moment is well but she already has problems where she stops passing urine and has high blood presure. I need to know if i am worrying too early or if i should try to see the urologist sooner.

i think she needs a lot of help and likely a kidney transplant, see the urologist

She's already having problems passing urine according to what you wrote so I wouldn't wait, I would phone the Dr immediately %26amp; explain the situation %26amp; demand to get an appt, If not take to an ER. You don't play around with one functioning kidney.
I would push for a visit with the urologist sooner if possible. Reflux can do a lot of damage without symptoms. There are other patients who had similar trouble when they were kids and you could post your question at http://www.ihatedialysis.com - it's a great support forum. good luck!
