[Diagnosis in neonatal hydronephrosis].

B Bollinger

    Ugeskrift for Laeger
    |April 17, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Prenatal ultrasound can detect fetal hydronephrosis. Postnatal confirmation with ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram, and renography helps identify causes and assess kidney function.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Fetal Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Context:

    • Maternal ultrasonography is a key tool for prenatal detection of fetal hydronephrosis.
    • Postnatal evaluation is crucial for confirming the diagnosis and determining the underlying cause.
    • Vesicoureteral reflux can be associated with various forms of hydronephrosis, necessitating further investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the diagnostic approach for fetal hydronephrosis after birth.
    • To emphasize the importance of a multi-modal imaging strategy.
    • To detail the roles of ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram, and renography in diagnosis.

    Summary:

    • Fetal hydronephrosis is initially detected via maternal ultrasound.
    • Postnatal confirmation involves repeat ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram to rule out reflux, and renography for functional assessment.
    • These imaging modalities typically identify the cause, with excretory urography reserved for ambiguous cases.

    Impact:

    • Establishes a clear diagnostic pathway for neonatal hydronephrosis.
    • Improves the accuracy of identifying renal function and drainage.
    • Guides appropriate management by elucidating the etiology of fetal hydronephrosis.
