Pre-Natal Nephrology Evaluations

The Children's Kidney Center

At the Children’s Kidney Center, we offer comprehensive pre-natal nephrology consultations for women diagnosed with abnormal fetal renal sonograms. The consultation involves discussions about the diagnosis, outcome, and management options. These consults include pre-natal 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 post-natal 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.

Our Children’s Kidney Center uses a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating various medical specialist groups such as Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Pediatric Urology, Neonatology and Social Work Services.
