“…A large population-based British study based on notifications to a registry found 113 cases in 242,628 births giving a prevalence of 4.7 per 10,000 births [9]. In this study 97 cases were diagnosed prenatally (86% of total cases).…”

Objective: To describe prevalence, prenatal diagnosis and epidemiology of congenital hydronephrosis (CH) in Europe. Material and method: Data from a large European database for surveillance of congenital malformations (EUROCAT). The 20 participating registries are all based on multiple sources of information and include information about livebirths, fetal deaths with gestational age 20 weeks and terminations of pregnancy after prenatal diagnosis of malformations. Included were all cases with CH and born 1995e2004. Results: There were 3648 cases with CH giving an overall prevalence of 11.5 cases per 10,000 births. The large majority of cases were livebirths (3506, 96% of total) and only 17 cases were fetal deaths and 120 were terminations of pregnancy. Almost all livebirths were alive 1 week after birth. Boys accounted for 72% of all cases. A high proportion of the cases (86%) had an isolated renal malformation. There were large regional differences in prevalence of CH ranging from 2 to 29 per 10,000 births. There was little regional variation in the prevalence of postnatally diagnosed cases while there were large regional differences in prevalence of prenatally diagnosed cases. Conclusion: Cases with CH are mainly livebirths, boys and survive the first week after birth. The large difference in prevalence seems to be related to the availability of prenatal screening in the region. The impact of over-diagnosis and potential over-treatment in regions with high prevalence or under-diagnosis with implications for renal function later in life in regions with low prevalence needs further investigation.

“…The frequency of hydronephrosis diagnosed in the population of children reported to the PRCM was 0.74/1000 born alive; in the British population,0.47/1000 born alive; and in Finland 3.05/1000 born alive [13,14]. Therefore, we suggest that every case of hydronephrosis diagnosed during pregnancy should be registered.…”

“…A similar (2:1) male preponderance was reported by the Northern Region Foetal Abnormality Survey [23], while Sanghvi et al, [4] reported a male to female ratio of 3.3:1. In our study, the male/female ratio for all types of urinary malformations was almost 1:1.…”

Aim: The detection of foetal urinary abnormalities in the antenatal period will help in an adequate post natal management and it will also have a bearing on the decision of the termination of the pregnancy. The purpose of the present study was to detect urinary anomalies in the antenatal period by doing autopsies of the aborted foetuses. Settings and Design:A cross-sectional study. Methods and Material:A total of 226 aborted foetuses were autopsied. The urinary anomalies which were related to the renal parenchyma, the pelvi-ureteral system and the urinary bladder were recorded. The associated anomalies of the other organ systems were also noted. The incidences of the different urinary anomalies among the aborted foetuses were calculated. The gestational ages at which the various anomalies were detected were also studied.Results: Twenty nine of the 226 fetuses were detected to have 34 urinary anomalies. Renal agenesis was the single most common
