Outcome of Antenatally Presenting Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV) in Children.

Indian Pediatrics 2017 April 16
BACKGROUND: To analyze the outcome of children with posterior urethral valves who presented with antenatal hydronephrosis.

METHODS: A 10-year retrospective review of records of 70 children with posterior urethral valves.

RESULTS: The mean (SD) gestational age at diagnosis was 34 (4.48) weeks, and age at intervention was 130.5 (170.9) days. The nadir creatinine was significantly raised (<1.2 mg/dl) in children with oligohydramnios and diversion.

CONCLUSION: All boys with antenatally detected hydronephrosis need postnatal evaluation to rule out posterior urethral valves. Short term outcome is improved with postnatal treatments, and longer follow-up is needed to ensure a favourable outcome.
