| Popis: | Fetal urinary tract dilation (UTD), also known as fetal hydronephrosis, is one of the most common sonographically identified malformations in the prenatal period. The leading cause of UTD is a variety of obstructive uropathies. The literature on the management and classification systems for UTD is widespread and varied. Diagnosis by sonography benefits the outcome of the affected fetus because early recognition assists in determining further need for prenatal monitoring and postnatal care. |
