Graviditätsbedingte Erweiterungen am Nierenhohlsystem Sonographische Diagnose und Verlaufskontrollen

Abstract

Ultrasonic diagnosis provides the possibility without any irradiation hazards to follow-up the urinary excreting system in pregnancies as often as necessary. Thus it becomes possible to detect the true percentages of pregnant women with dilatation of the calyceal system, and to evaluate the course of dilatation in those women examined at different intervals. There exists as well the possibility to avoid urinary tract infections by an intensive urologic surveillance in such cases.
