Renal Injury

One in about 500 births will have some type of development abnormality in the kidneys or urinary tract. The ability to administer ultrasound examinations can allow a doctor to see the baby''s internal organs so that a renal injury can be detected early on. If realizing a renal injury is present, the doctor can decide what type, if any, treatment is necessary. The renal injury can range from the failure for one or both kidneys to develop. A renal injury can appear on the ultrasound test when the kidney appears enlarged. This is caused by a condition called hydronephrosis, which occurs when urine is backed up into the kidneys because of blockage. A doctor can continue to monitor the renal injury through ultrasound examinations so that any further complications can be immediately dealt with.
