The diagnosis of renal disease was made antenatally in three patients by ultrasonographic examination. In two cases a multicystic kidney was detected in utero and removed shortly after delivery. In another case, a hydronephrotic kidney was detected in utero; repair was then performed early, before symptoms developed in the infant. Antenatal diagnosis of renal disease by ultrasonography may help reduce morbidity and mortality in some cases.
三名患者通过超声检查在产前被诊断出患有肾脏疾病。其中两例在子宫内检测到多囊肾，并在出生后不久进行了切除。另一例在子宫内检测到肾积水；随后在婴儿出现症状之前尽早进行了修复。超声检查对肾脏疾病进行产前诊断在某些情况下可能有助于降低发病率和死亡率。
