Posted June 20, 20204 yr comment_10806 I have seen in few hospitals in all cases of severe oligohydramnios babies are subjected to kidney function test and or renal ultrasound in order to not miss conditions like bilateral renal agenesis, renal dysplasia etc. Do you think this practice is justified ?
June 24, 20204 yr we don’t have a written guideline, but if the infant is doing well, and passing urine normally, we’d don’t do renal investigations per routine. However, in infants smaller than -3 SD in weight, we tend to screen more, often also blood and USG for renal morbidities.
