ObjectiveSince 1995 we have, at our centre, adopted a selective approach to performing micturating cystourethrograms (MCUGs) on patients with antenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis. This study reviews the outcome of this policy.MethodsWe carry out MCUGs only if any of the following features are present on ultrasound: bilateral hydronephrosis, ureteric dilatation, renal scarring, bladder wall thickness greater than 5 mm, or presence of a duplex system or ureterocele. Patients with simple unilateral hydronephrosis are excluded, and are managed with 6 months’ trimethoprim prophylaxis and ultrasound surveillance with a minimum of 3 years’ follow up.ResultsFifty-five patients were referred with an antenatal diagnosis of hydronephrosis between 1999 and 2002; 26 (47%) did not have an MCUG. Of these, five had increasing hydronephrosis and required surgery for pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, and three had a multicystic dysplastic kidney on postnatal scanning. In the remaining 18 patients, the hydronephrosis resolved spontaneously, with no renal scars or asymmetry. During follow up, none of these patients had a urinary tract infection.ConclusionWe believe that vesico-ureteric reflux in most antenatally diagnosed hydronephrotic kidneys is physiological rather than pathological, and resolves with time without causing long-term renal damage. This is a separate entity from, rather than a precursor of, the pathological symptomatic refluxing kidney in older, mainly female children. Taking a more conservative approach to the postnatal investigation of antenatally diagnosed hydronephrotic kidneys has not resulted in any missed damaged kidneys, but has reduced the number of invasive investigations performed. A careful protocol and detailed postnatal ultrasonography are important to prevent missed pathological cases.  相似文献

ObjectiveFor neonates with antenatally diagnosed primary ureteropelvic junction (UPJ)-type hydronephrosis, to attempt to clarify and refine criteria for establishing optimal follow-up and treatment guidelines.Patients and methodsA total of 162 newborns (228 hydronephrotic kidneys) with this condition were prospectively followed and treated by the same surgeon in 2001–2005 for a mean of 53 (13–72) months. Ultrasonography and diuretic renogram were used for diagnosis and follow up, and Onen's grading system to determine degree of hydronephrosis.ResultsOn first postnatal ultrasound, the severity of hydronephrosis was grade 1 in 152 kidneys (surgery, 0%), 2 in 41 (surgery, 19.5%), 3 in 19 (surgery, 42.1%), and 4 in 16 kidneys (surgery, 93.8%). All the grade 1 cases resolved spontaneously without renal deterioration (renal function >40%). Renal function ranged between 7% and 34% in grade 4 patients. Overall, 201 hydronephrotic kidneys (88.2%) resolved spontaneously, while 27 (11.8%) required pyeloplasty because of evidence of obstructive injury, including increased hydronephrosis in 14/27 (6/27 had less than 10% decrease in renal function), greater than 10% decrease of renal function in 9/27, and greater than 10% decrease of renal function as well as increased hydronephrosis in 4/27 patients (15%).ConclusionIn most cases, neonatal hydronephrosis is a relatively benign condition that can be followed safely by an initial non-operative approach unless there is evidence of obstructive injury. A follow-up protocol that permits early identification of a limited number of kidneys that may develop signs of obstruction and require pyeloplasty is crucial for a favorable outcome in patients with primary UPJ-type hydronephrosis. Onen's hydronephrosis grading system promises an easier and more appropriate follow up and timely treatment for children with this condition. A sufficient follow-up interval, especially during the first 3 years of life, is essential to help prevent permanent loss of renal function in kidneys that do develop signs of obstruction.  相似文献

小儿肾积水病肾血流动力学改变与临床意义   总被引:5,自引:1,他引:5  
目的了解小儿肾积水肾血流动力学改变与病肾损害程度的关系。方法采用彩色超声多普勒(CDFI)测量小儿肾积水病肾肾主动脉(MRA)、叶间动脉(IRA)及弓状动脉(ARA)的阻力指数(RI),并与健肾测值进行比较;同时行病肾组织学检查分级,然后与病肾RI作相关分析。结果本组共检测78例小儿肾积水,检测发现:病肾各级肾血管(MRA、IRA、ARA)的RI明显升高,与健肾相应动脉RI比较,差异有显著性意义(P〈0.05);病肾各级血管的RI均随病理分级的增加而递增,且叶间动脉的RI在不同病理分级组间比较,差异均有显著性意义(P〈0.05);病肾各级血管的RI与病理分级密切正相关,差异有显著性意义(P〈0.05),其中病肾叶间动脉的RI与病理分级相关性最密切,相关系数r=0.715、P〈0.01。结论小儿肾积水病肾各级肾血管的RI明显升高,与病肾损害程度密切正相关,特别是叶间动脉的RI与病肾损害的相关性最密切(P〈0.01)。因此证实利用简单、准确无创的CDFI检测肾血流动力学改变可作为术前判定病肾损害程度的有效方法之一。  相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To determine the accuracy of measuring antenatal renal pelvic diameter for prediction of renal abnormalities. RESEARCH DESIGN--Prospective evaluation of all pregnant women undergoing ultrasonography. SETTING--A teaching hospital providing primary and referral maternity care. PARTICIPANTS--Fifty-six pregnant women with suspected fetal hydronephrosis or cystic lesions identified from 7500 ultrasonograms over 3 years. METHODS--Antenatal renal pelvic diameter was measured in the anteroposterior dimension. Neonates underwent postnatal ultrasonography after day 3 of life; if the results were abnormal, a cystogram and renal diuretic scan were obtained. RESULTS--None of 50 kidneys 15 mm or smaller in anteroposterior pelvic diameter had obstruction; 11 (79%) of 14 kidneys larger than 15 mm were obstructed or demonstrated vesicoureteral reflux. Of 12 kidneys believed to be multicystic before birth, five (42%) proved to have hydronephrosis. CONCLUSIONS--Since the majority of fetuses with suspected hydronephrosis proved to be normal, parents should not be unduly alarmed by the physician. Renal pelvic diameter of more than 15 mm is strongly predictive of hydronephrosis. Since severe hydronephrosis is treatable and can be mistaken for a multicystic kidney antenatally, full radiologic evaluation is needed soon after birth.  相似文献

The diagnostic accuracy of nephrosonography is compared with conventional radiologic techniques and surgical findings in 13 infants aged 1 day to 14 months, who were in renal failure or had abdominal masses. Ten of the 13 infants presented with marked renal failure and in half of them neither kidneys nor collecting systems were visualized on the first intravenous pyelogram. Normal renal architecture was demonstrated by nephrosonography in three, hypoplastic kidneys in three, hydronephrosis in three, and a combination of hydronephrosis and contralateral multicystic kidney in one. In the three infants without renal failure, only one kidney was demonstrated by IVP; The cystic contralateral kidney in each of them was demonstrated by nephrosonography. In all cases the diagnosis was confirmed by conventional radiologic techniques when renal function had improved or by surgical exploration. This technique appears to be a useful adjunct to conventional radiography in the differential diagnosis of the infant with abnormalities of the urinary tract. Nephrosonography is of especial value when a kidney is not visualized by IVP, and it may appropriately aid in therapeutic decisions regarding the use of invasive procedures in small critically ill infants.  相似文献

ObjectiveWe present our alternative hydronephrosis grading system (AGS) in an attempt to establish optimal treatment guidelines, and clarify and refine the criteria for severity of hydronephrosis in neonates.Patients and methodsA total of 162 newborns (228 affected kidneys) with antenatally diagnosed primary ureteropelvic junction-type hydronephrosis were prospectively followed and treated by the same surgeon for a mean of 46 (6–65) months. Ultrasonography and diuretic renogram were used for diagnosis and follow up. Society for Fetal Urology (SFU) grading system, anteroposterior diameter of renal pelvis (APDRP) and our AGS were used to determine the degree of hydronephrosis. AGS: 0, no hydronephrosis; 1, dilatation of renal pelvis alone; 2, plus caliceal dilatation; 3, plus <1/2 (mild-to-moderate) renal parenchymal loss; 4, plus >1/2 (severe) renal parenchymal loss (cyst-like kidney with no visually significant renal parenchyma).ResultsOn the first postnatal ultrasound, the severity of hydronephrosis was SFU  2 in 152 kidneys (surgery, 0%), SFU-3 in 41 kidneys (surgery, 19.5%) and SFU-4 in 35 kidneys (surgery, 68.6%). The follow up, treatment and outcome of SFU-1 and SFU-2 patients were similar; all resolved spontaneously without renal deterioration (renal function >40%). Renal function ranged between 7% and 39% in SFU-4 patients. Intrarenal pelvis was found in one patient with an APDRP of <15 mm, seven patients of 16–30 mm, and five patients of >30 mm. Overall, 201 hydronephrotic kidneys (88.2%) resolved spontaneously while 27 (11.8%) required pyeloplasty.ConclusionNeither an SFU grading system nor measurement of APDRP is the gold standard in determining the severity of hydronephrosis. Both methods may fail, particularly in children with intrarenal pelvis configuration or SFU-4 hydronephrosis. Our AGS promises easier follow up and more timely treatment.  相似文献

Two cases of prenatally identified urinoma associated with an isolated hydronephrosis are presented, and the pathophysiology and prognosis of this rare condition are discussed. The presence in utero of a peri-renal collection associated with an isolated hydronephrosis seems to be a sign of significant renal dysplasia. These urinomas disappear spontaneously, thus drainage is not necessary, except in the case of compression of surrounding structures. The functional prognosis of these kidneys seems to be most unfavourable.  相似文献

核素利尿肾动态显像在儿童肾重复畸形中的临床应用   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
为评价99Tc^m-EC利尿肾动态显像在儿童肾重复畸形中的临床价值,对23例肾生复畸形住院患儿99Tc^m-EC利尿肾动态显像(RDI),分析其影像特征和主要功能指标的变化;设计可反映重复上半肾功能的指标(D/N),并以之与临床病理分型比较。结果显示:肾重复畸形在RDI连续叠加影像中有4种表现;上肾稀疏、上肾缺损、肾影增长、肾盂分离;RDI的灵敏度、特异性、准确性分别为73.3%、93.2%、81.4%;RDI对合并输尿管囊肿检出率较好,并可检出部分输尿管扩张积水;利尿肾图显示尿路梗阻类型均为非机械性梗阻。临床病理分型为发育不良型,其上肾D/N值均小于30%,发育型均大于70%,积水型为30%-70%。对术后随访的病例,RDI在双肾形态和功能转归方面有肯定的判断。说明99Tc^m-EC肾动态显像对肾重复畸形有较好的诊断价值可帮助判断重复上半肾功能,为临床床前选择手术方式提供重要依据可作为术后随访复查的主要检查手段。  相似文献

Ultrasound was used for imaging the kidneys in 55 neonates. The normal kidney in a neonate is characterized by prominent medulla and fetal lobulation, the main renal vessels are frequently demonstrated. Of 29 infants with normal kidneys by ultrasound, 4 had renal disease (3 acute tubular necrosis, one partial renal artery thrombosis) and one had a pelvic kidney. In 24 infants congenital abnormalities or acquired renal disease was diagnosed. Multicystic dysplastic kidney and hydronephrosis were the most frequently observed abnormalities. Polycystic kidneys at the early stage (both adult type and infantile) appeared as enlarged hyperechoic kidneys. In 2 neonates the kidneys were normal but they had adrenal mass lesions.Based on the paper presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Detroit, Michigan, October 1980  相似文献

Most urogenital abnormalities are now diagnosed antenatally on high resolution ultrasound scans. This has enabled recognition of those that are not compatible with survival and these are managed with termination of pregnancy. Renal anomalies that require surgical intervention continue to pose challenges. Conditions such as multicystic dysplastic kidney can be easily recognised and managed based on the experience gained with long-term studies of its natural history. Polycystic kidney on the other hand while not posing a diagnostic problem remains beyond the reach of therapeutic intervention and postnatal supportive measures are the only available means of dealing with this entity at present. The major difficulty is with the management of antenatally diagnosed pelvicalyceal dilatation. The goal of intervention is to preserve renal function when dilatation is the consequence of obstruction. Unfortunately, by the time ultrasound evidence of significant obstruction is apparent renal damage is already established. Fetal intervention should be considered in those cases where severe oligohydramnios is associated with hydronephrosis, especially in the presence of a solitary kidney or in bilateral disease. Postnatally, all neonates with renal tract dilatation should be managed according to a protocol which mandates serial measurements of renal pelvis diameter and correlates this with data from radionuclide scans. This will enable recognition of kidneys that are at risk of losing function while at the same time avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention in those which remain dilated but are functionally stable.  相似文献

Abnormalities of the fetal urinary tract, most commonly hydronephrosis of differing causes, can be detected by ultrasound (US). Prenatal measurements of the kidney can help to predict the postnatal outcome of hydronephrosis. About 20 % of abnormalities evident in utero are not present after birth. After delivery, various imaging procedures, particularly US and voiding cystourethrography may be necessary to evaluate prenatally diagnosed abnormalities. Pyelectasis may be due to obstruction and this may be assessed by sonography during diuresis, urography or diuretic renography. Renography can also evaluate global and split function of the kidneys. 123I-hippurate and 99 mTc-MAG3 are superior to 99 mTc-DTPA, but there is no ’gold standard' technique available to assess obstruction. The majority of cases of hydronephrosis, even those which appear to be due to obstruction, can be treated conservatively without deterioration of renal function. Primary megaureter is the second most common cause of obstructive hydronephrosis in the newborn. The diagnostic procedures are similar if the dilated ureter persists unchanged and the infant is asymptomatic. Newborns with antenatally detected renal abnormalities frequently have associated vesicoureteric reflux. Received: 6 February 1996 Accepted: 26 November 1997  相似文献

The management of neonates with mild hydronephrosis diagnosed antenatally is still debated. Although some of these infants are normal, it is recognised that others will have mild obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction or vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). A prospective study was performed in all newborn infants with an antenatal diagnosis of mild hydronephrosis (47 babies, 62 kidneys) born over a two year period in order to assess the frequency of VUR. Voiding cystography in 14 patients with 21 renal units showed VUR. Two patients underwent surgery and the VUR resolved; the other 12 received medical treatment. Repeat cystography was scheduled for 12-18 months later, when a high rate of spontaneous cure was observed. The remaining patients were monitored by ultrasonography but only in one case did hydronephrosis deteriorate because of the presence of severe ureteropelvic junction obstruction. It is concluded that mild dilatation of the pelvis might be an expression of a potentially severe malformation such as VUR, and a careful follow up of these cases is mandatory.  相似文献
