About
Dr. Alexandra Zachou is a leading figure in paediatric urology, whose work has fundamentally shaped the contemporary management of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children. Her research centers on evidence-based guidelines for urinary tract infections and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. Dr. Zachou’s most impactful contribution is her role as a key author of the landmark 2024 update to the European Association of Urology/European Society of Paediatric Urology Paediatric Guidelines on VUR, a document that has already garnered 86 citations and serves as the global standard for clinical decision-making. This work synthesizes decades of data to provide clear, risk-stratified protocols for diagnosis, antibiotic prophylaxis, and surgical intervention, directly reducing unnecessary procedures and improving long-term renal outcomes. Beyond this seminal guideline, Dr. Zachou is recognized for her rigorous systematic reviews and collaborative efforts to harmonize paediatric urological care across Europe. Her dedication to translating complex research into practical, patient-centered recommendations has made her an indispensable voice in the field, guiding both seasoned urologists and trainees toward more precise, less invasive treatments for children.
