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
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)
