Unilateral Renal agenesis
Posted in 2013
In unilateral renal agenesis, one kidney does not develop while a baby is growing in the womb. (‘Unilateral’ means one side.) The other kidney usually looks and works as normal. Most people have no long-term problems with unilateral renal agenesis, and some do not even know that they have only one kidney.
Tests and diagnosis in pregnancy
During pregnancy
The 20 week antenatal ultrasound scan looks at your baby growing in the womb. Unilateral renal agenesis may be suspected if one of the kidneys cannot be seen.
The scan also measures the amount of amniotic fluid (or liquor), the fluid that your baby floats in. The baby’s kidneys start making urine and pass this out into the amniotic fluid. This fluid protects your baby from getting hurt from the outside and helps his or her lungs mature so he or she is ready to breathe after birth.
If there is not enough amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios), this may mean that one or both kidneys are not working properly, and the baby may have problems breathing after birth.
What the ultrasound can tell us
Although your doctor will not always know how your baby will be affected at birth, he or she is less likely to have significant problems if:
- he or she is growing well in the womb
- no other problems have been found, and
- there is a normal amount of amniotic fluid.
You may need to go back to the hospital for more ultrasound scans during the reainder of your pregnancy
My advise
1.. I advise every couple to prevent Defective births as I believe ''Prevention is always better than Cure''
2....Develop positive thinking before conceiving and continue till delivery
