Overview

According to the society of Fetal Urology, hydronephrosis may be graded based on ultrasound findings into 4 types.

Classification

  • According to the society of Fetal Urology and alternative hydronephrosis grading system (AGS), hydronephrosis can be graded based on ultrasound findings into 4 types.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Grade 0 No renal pelvis dilation Anteroposterior diameter of less than 4 mm in fetuses
Grade 1 Mild renal pelvis dilation Anteroposterior diameter less than 10 mm in fetuses
Grade 2 Moderate renal pelvis dilation Anteroposterior diameter between 10 and 15 mm in fetuses
Grade 3 Renal pelvis dilation along with all calyces dilatation
Grade 4 Renal pelvis dilation along with all calyces dilatation

with thinning of the renal parenchyma
