[Fetal uropathies. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems].

    Summary

    Prenatal diagnosis of fetal uropathies faces challenges, with 70% accuracy. Current methods lack reliable indicators for fetal renal function, precluding in utero interventions for most cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Fetal medicine
    • Urology

    Context:

    • Antenatal diagnosis of fetal uropathies is crucial for early management.
    • Experience with 63 cases highlights diagnostic challenges and implications.

    Purpose:

    • To discuss diagnostic problems in fetal uropathies.
    • To evaluate the practical implications of antenatal diagnosis.
    • To assess potential indications for in utero interventions.

    Summary:

    • Correct diagnosis was achieved in 70% of cases.
    • Challenges include differentiating kidney conditions and managing transitory dilatations.
    • Thoracic development and amniotic fluid evaluation are vital for obstructive uropathy assessment.

    Impact:

    • Prenatal echography enables early recognition of major uropathies.
    • Early detection can prevent worsening of prognosis due to postnatal infection.
    • Current diagnostic limitations suggest no clear indications for in utero intervention at this time.
