Feasibility of Measuring 3-Dimensional Renal Parenchymal Volume to Predict Postnatal Renal Function in Near-Term Fetuses With Congenital Hydronephrosis

摘要

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of predicting kidney function using the fetal renal parenchymal volume as determined by prenatal 3-dimensional (3D) sonography and to determine the association among the prenatal renal pelvic diameter, renal parenchymal volume, and postnatal renal function in near-term fetuses with unilateral hydronephrosis.
