| dc.description.abstract | Objective: The aim of our study is to examine the spontaneous resolution rates of congenital hydronephrosis from a recent perspective. Material and Methods: Sixty-nine pediatric patients (M/F=46/23) with congenital hydronephrosis were enrolled in this study. Results: The mean age at the first postnatal examination was 10.8±7.6 days, and the mean age at the time of the final examination was 9.5±3.2 months. Forty-eight patients’ renal anteroposterior diameters (APD) (69.5%) improved while 8 (11.6%) patients’ APDs worsened during the follow-up period. However, MAG3 of these 8 patients was normal. The remaining thirteen (18.9%) patients had congenital anomalies of the kidney and the urinary tract (8 vesicoureteral reflux, 5 cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction). The mean baseline APD was 9.1±2.8 mm in the group with reduced APD, and 9.7±2.8 mm in the one with increased APD (p=0.461). The mean APD at the final visit was significantly lower in the group with reduced APD than that in the group with increased APD (5.1±1.8 mm vs 17.9±12.6 mm; p=0.001). The anteroposterior diameter of 26 (81.25%) patients with left-sided hydronephrosis and 10 (71.4%) patients with right- sided hydronephrosis regressed spontaneously. The rate of spontaneous resolution was relatively low in patients with bilateral hydronephrosis (n=13; 56.5%) compared to unilateral ones. Conclusion: Our study indicates that an initially mild hydronephrosis does not exclude a pathological course in cases of congenital hyronephrosis. Therefore, in such patients, routine ultrasonography should be done regularly. | |
