  • Title: [Prenatal use of pulsed Doppler ultrasound within the scope of the differential diagnosis of bilateral kidney abnormalities].

    Abstract:
    Pulsed Doppler ultrasound was used in the differential diagnosis of 22 cases suspected of bilateral malformations of the foetal kidneys. In cases of kidney malformations, the pulsatility indices (PI) of the umbilical artery and the foetal aorta were in the normal range. In cases showing pathological PI values of both vessels, we found a severe intrauterine growth (IUGR) retardation with oligohydramnion. These results underline the importance of pulsed Doppler as a non invasive means in the management of oligohydramnions to differentiate among bilateral kidney malformations and IUGR.
