Options for fetus with likely renal failure
by chirpygal, Nov 27, 2008 03:53PM
In my 20th week ultrasound, they found enlarged bladder & dialated kidneys in the baby. We were referred to a perinatologist, who conducted 3 aminocentesis to test the quality of the baby's urine. After the 3rd, he said that the kidneys have probably been damaged, and there's a likelihood of renal failure. He said he can place a shunt if we want to continue with the pregnancy.
Have any of you heard or experienced something like this? Do you know what are the likely results if we continue with it? Can babies survive with this? How long? What options are out there to fix this post delivery??
Please let me know.
Thanks.
