Antenatal diagnosis of renal pelvic dilatation--the natural history of conservative management.
1991
Seventy children with an antenatal diagnosis of unilateral renal pelvic dilatation underwent Tc 99 m DTPA diuretic renograms. There were 16 kidneys with moderate function, and 54 with good function, 31 underwent pyeloplasty, all had a renal pelvis >12 mm diameter on ultrasound. Thirty nine children with good function were treated conservatively. Long term follow up has demonstrated that conservative management for PUJ dilatation with a good functioning kidney may be justified but a randomised control study is required.
