Overview
Ultrasound
Ultrasound
- Prenatal ultrasound is used for assessing abnormalities in the fetal urogenital tract. (5,13,14 in huber)
- On prenatal ultrasound, normal kidneys may be visible at 9 weeks of gestation. (huber???)
- Renal ultrasonography shows no renal parenchyma in unilateral renal agenesis (URA). (XU)
- Indicators of bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) on ultrasound include: (12 in huber)
- Postnatal renal ultrasound may be helpful in discriminating unilateral renal agenesis (URA) from multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK), renal aplasia or renal ectopia. (6 in west land)
Color Doppler Ultrasound
- Absence of renal arteries on color doppler ultrasonography indicates bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) and may be used as an additive diagnostic tool. (11 in huber)
