Popis: OBJECTIVES To assess the prenatal growth pattern of the normal kidney contralateral to a multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK). METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in a single referral center over 4 years. Cases diagnosed prenatally as MCDK and confirmed postnatally constituted the study group. For creation of nomograms, only isolated cases of MCDK were included. RESULTS Sixty-one fetuses had a diagnosis of an MCDK during the study period. After exclusion of cases with associated malformations, 47 fetuses remained, providing 94 measurements for creation of nomograms. The growth pattern of the normal kidney contralateral to an MCDK was linear throughout gestation (percentile = 20.01 + 1.5 gestational age; linear R2 = 0.753; r = 0.868) and was significantly higher during the third trimester (29-38 weeks' gestation) compared to the second trimester (22-28 weeks' gestation; P
