“…These include gestational age at diagnosis (Hutton et al, 1994); the volume of amniotic fluid (Oliveira et al, 2000;Sarhan et al, 2008); the presence of megacystis (Oliveira, et al, 2000); the appearance of the renal parenchyma on prenatal ultrasound Robyr, et al, 2005;Sarhan, et al, 2008); fetal urinary sodium, calcium, 2-microglobulin, and other urinary solutes and proteins (Decramer et al, 2008;Morris et al, 2007).
