PURPOSE OF REVIEW Fetal hydronephrosis is the most common anomaly detected on antenatal ultrasound examination, and its significance and management remain controversial. This review aims to address the early postnatal evaluation of the child with prenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis. RECENT FINDINGS The risk of significant urological pathology increases with the severity of prenatal hydronephr...

OBJECTIVE Management options of gestational hydronephrosis are based on the coexisting stone disease, pyelonephritis, and renal disease. However, the management option and its consequences in the absence of a coexisting disease state are not clear. In this study we aimed to compare the effectiveness of conservative treatment and double J insertion in symptomatic pure gestational hydronephrosis....

Ultrasound is very sensitive in diagnosing obstruction by demonstrating hydronephrosis (1, 2). Ultrasonography has great advantage over IVU in patients who have azotemia, contrast materialinduced allergy, are pregnant, fetal, or pediatric patients with no exposure to radiation. And ultrasonography can nicely visualize the both the renal parenchyma and the collecting system as well as causative ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine if the degree of hydronephrosis on focused emergency renal ultrasound correlates with kidney stone size on computed tomography. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on all adult patients in the emergency department who had a focused emergency renal ultrasound and ureterolithiasis on noncontrast computed tomography. Severity of hydronephro...
