Abstract
Introduction:Anomalies of the urinary tract are common but the true incidence varies from centre to centre and with the timing of the ultrasound examination. The majority (approximately 70%) are not lethal and can be treated. Methods:This study was carried out in the Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging and Obstetrics and Gynecology, Machines used where GE Voluson Expert , S7 ,LOGIC 500 pro,Phillips HD15, HD 11,HD 7&Envisorultrasound scanners with color doppler . Transducer used for the obstetric scanning was 3.5 MHZ frequency convex probe.Standardizedsonographic technique was used for the obstetric scan adhering to the published guidelines of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine.Sonographic studies were performed on all 31 pregnancies of 16-20 weeks' gestation upto term, irrespective of patients age and parity. Both singleton and multiple gestations were included in the study. Results:Twenty-three of the total 31 (74%) had unilateral disease and 8 (26%) had bilateral involvement. Twenty-four of 31 (78%) survived, without undergoing operative therapy postnatally.Majority of renal abnormalities were not life threatening, however severe bilateral renal abnormalities accounted for 10% of all terminations for lethal fetal abnormalities Conclusion:Antenatal diagnosis of fetal urinary tract abnormalities is useful in the prevention of renal damage in the child or young adult and to plan approporiate therapy inutero or post natally.
