[Urological diseases during pregnancy]

Pyelonephritis and urinary calculi are the most frequent urological complications during pregnancy. They are followed by injuries of the urinary system during birth or in connection with multiple traumas in traffic accidents. Kidney transplantation or permanent urinary diversion (Ileum- or Colon-Conduit) are not an absolute obstacle for pregnancies when closely followed. Problematic for mother and child is the coincidence of pregnancy and malignant tumours. In that case good cooperation among the different specialities is necessary. This study provides a concept for the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Knowledge of adequate methods of examination and modern techniques and a timely treatment meeting the demands of the situation prevent complications and sequelae of the pregnancy.
