Abstract
Background: Among congenital anomalies, renal UT anomalies rank highly in frequency. The average prevalence rate in Egypt from 2010 to 2014 was 32.8 per 10,000 live births.
Aim and objectives: In order to assess the function of ultrasound in the early detection of foetal abnormalities affecting the urinary tract.
Patients and methods: The participants in this prospective cross-sectional investigation were 100 women who visited the obstetrics and gynaecology clinic at Al-Hussein University Hospital between the months of February and August of 2023.
Results: The mean gravidity of included patients was 2.83 ±1.04, average parity was 2.41±1.18, and average gestational age was 20.04±4. 90 (90%) were VUR and 10 (10%) were not. AFI had a mean ± SD of 2.45±1.07, and AFP had a mean of 181.1±43.25. 60 (60%) of congenital urinary tract foetal anomalies were located in the kidney, and 57 (57%) were located in the urinary bladder. 29 (29%) of congenital urinary tract foetal anomalies located in the kidney were hygienic, 17 (17%) were large cysts, and 12 (12%) were mild dilatation of the renal pelvis, while 48 (48%) of congenital urinary tract foetal anomalies located in the urinary bladder were dro ureters.
Conclusion: Ultrasonography is crucial for diagnosing congenital urinary tract foetal anomalies, as it can identify patients with kidney and urinary bladder anomalies, as well as hydrometers, with large cysts and mild pelvis dilatation.
