Fetal obstructive uropathy complicated by urinary ascites: outcome and prognostic value of fetal serum β‐2‐microglobulin

Abstract: Fetal serum β-2-microglobulin reliably predicts postnatal renal outcome in obstructive uropathy complicated by urinary ascites. Moreover, urine extravasation does not seem to protect fetal renal function.

“…This may explain the discrepancy in the information supplied by serum and urine values. Spaggiari et al also observed an absence of correlation between high levels of β2-microglobulin in urinary ascites and serum, suggesting that the tubular resorption and catabolism are exceeded [11] The increase we observed in β2-microglobulin levels reflected nephron destruction and a reduction in their number [2,6]. This damage to the renal parenchyma results from the reflux and stagnation of urine in the tract [1].…”

“…This discrepancy may reflect the time required to reach a degree of parenchymal injury that will induce an irreversible impairment of kidney function. But because a foetal biopsy is an invasive antenatal procedure and does not indicate the status of the whole renal parenchyma (where lesions may be distributed irregularly), measuring β2-microglobulin levels in the serum appears to constitute the optimum compromise because it will closely reflect the degree of renal histological injury and can provide information on the patient's renal function [11].…”

“…En el caso de las uropatías obstructivas fetales existen posibilidades terapéuticas precoces. Su aplicación depende de una adecuada evaluación de la función renal y de la determinación del pronóstico evolutivo con base en la búsqueda de signos ecográficos indirectos y en el análisis bioquímico de la orina fetal incluyendo la valoración de marcadores fetales, en especial la determinación de la beta 2 microglobulina [15][16] .…”

“…Se puede estudiar la función renal fetal por análisis bioquímicos seriados de la orina fetal obtenida por aspiración vesical. Los estudios clínicos han demostrado que la ecografía, la medición de electrolitos urinarios, y muy especialmente los valores de beta 2 microglobulina son buenos predictores de la función renal fetal 16,17 .…”

“…Overall, it is accepted that those with normal karyotype, lack of other congenital anomalies, and pre-senting with oligohydramnios or anhydramnios and favorable urinary biochemistry would be considered good candidates [13]. Fetal intervention is predominantly aimed at restoration of amniotic fluid volume for prevention of pulmonary hypoplasia and urinary decompression for attenuation of ongoing renal damage [14][15][16][17][18]. Treatment options for this subset of fetuses include vesicoamniotic shunting (VAS) which is most commonly used, valve ablation via cystoscopy, and vesicostomy [3].…”
