This retrospective review identified 122 cases with a prenatal diagnosis of genitourinary anomalies and categorized them into parenchymal and collecting system abnormalities. Comparisons were made between the anatomical groups for indications for ultrasound, average gestational age at positive and negative renal ultrasound diagnosis, amniotic fluid volume and pregnancy outcome with postnatal diagnosis. The results indicated that parenchymal abnormalities were detected earlier in gestation than collecting system anomalies. Additional fetal anomalies were more often present in the parenchymal group. Chromosome abnormalities were present in 5% of the urinary tract abnormalities. Parenchymal abnormalities were more likely to have oligohydramnios and a higher morality rate.

D005865	Gestational Age	The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D014463	Ultrasonography	The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz.
