Abstract
Objectives: To define the clinical outcomes of isolated antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) in infancy. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of data from 90 patients with isolated ANH in our hospital was performed. Newborns with ANH were followed up for a period of one year with ultrasonographic measurement of renal pelvic diameter (RPD). RPD was classified as mild (5–9.9 mm), moderate (10–14.9 mm) or severe (≥15 mm). Results: Out of the 90 cases of isolated ANH (60 boys and 30 girls),58% had no postnatal hydronephrosis in USG done at first week of life, while 32% had dilated prominent renal pelvis in the postnatal USG of 41 patients with mild dilatation,7(18%) had uropathy,3 infants presented with UTI in the follow-up period. Majority of patients with mild fetal RPD have no significant findings in infancy. Conclusions: In contrast to patients with moderate/severe RPD, infants with mild RPD do not require invasive diagnostic procedures but only follow up for UTI and progression of RPD.
