Abstract
Real-time renal ultrasonographic scans were obtained of 204 subjects, comprising 159 pregnant and 45 control subjects. A classification of hydronephrosis based on calyceal diameters was established, and the overall incidence of hydronephrosis was 90% on the right side and 67% on the left side. Calyceal diameters for both kidneys increased gradually throughout pregnancy, the right more rapidly than the left. Neither parity nor a history of urinary tract problems was relevant to the degree of dilatation.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
