Prenatal Nephrology Evaluations

For women diagnosed with abnormal fetal renal sonograms, we offer comprehensive prenatal nephrology consultations. The consultation involves discussions about the diagnosis, outcome and management options. These consults include prenatal evaluation of maternal disorders that may affect the fetus or baby with a significant renal anomaly or urinary tract problem noticed intra-utero.

Early consultation allows the parents to understand the differential diagnosis and potential outcome of the fetus. Our specialists will provide detailed explanations regarding the postnatal evaluation, surgical procedures that may be required, nutritional requirements, and renal protection measurements that would impact in the renal outcome and optimize the growth and quality of the child’s life.

We use a multidisciplinary approach, integrating various medical specialties such as maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric urology, neonatology and social work services.
