Research paper thumbnail of Severe fetal hydronephrosis: the added value of associated congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) in the prediction of postnatal outcome

Cases presenting prenatally with severe hydronephrosis (anterior-posterior renal pelvic diameter >15 mm) were collected retrospectively over a period of 11 years and divided into 2 groups: (1) isolated hydronephrosis and (2) those associated with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). A total of 83 fetuses comprised the study group: 35 fetuses had isolated severe hydronephrosis and 48 had associated CAKUT. The mean anterior-posterior renal pelvic diameter was 22.6 ± 8.5 mm (range 15.0-66.0 mm). The CAKUT group was associated with a significantly increased incidence of postnatal need for surgery (17.6% vs 44.2%, P = .014), dysplastic kidney (0% vs 14%, P = .023), and total abnormal outcome (52.9% vs 86%, P = .001) in comparison with isolated severe prenatal hydronephrosis. Severe fetal hydronephrosis ha...
