Hydronephrosis is the dilatation of the collecting system of the kidney. Prenatal ultrasound has significantly increased the detection rate for fetal abnormalities during the past 20 years. The wide range of management and treatment options for antenatal hydronephrosis often leave health care providers and families with questions about the appropriateness of referral to a pediatric urologist and the need for postnatal screening. Pre and postnatal management, radiologic findings, and treatment options are reviewed and three case scenarios presented.
肾积水是指肾脏集合系统的扩张。在过去20年中，产前超声显著提高了胎儿异常的检出率。产前肾积水的管理和治疗选择范围广泛，这常常让医疗保健人员和家庭对转诊至小儿泌尿科医生的适宜性以及产后筛查的必要性产生疑问。本文回顾了产前和产后管理、影像学检查结果及治疗选择，并展示了三个病例。
