Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT)
• Constitute approximately 20-30 % of all anomalies identified in the prenatal period
• Play a causative role in 30 to 50 percent of cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in children

Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT)
• Defects can be unilateral or bilateral and different defects often coexist in an individual child
• Patients with a reduction in kidney numbers or size are most likely to have a poor renal prognosis

CAKUT and ESRD
• Important to diagnose these anomalies early and initiate therapy to minimize renal damage
• Prevent or delay the onset of ESRD, and provide supportive care to avoid complications of ESRD

Prenatal US: Urinary Tract Anomalies
• Urologic abnormalities: in up to 1.5% of all pregnancies
• At least 50% represent some form of hydronephrosis
• Prenatal US has completely changed the face of pediatric urology/nephrology practice

Prenatal Hydronephrosis
• In most cases, fetal renal pelvic dilation is a transient physiologic state
• Excessive concern may lead to unnecessary testing of the newborn infant and anxiety for parents and health care providers
![Page 7: Urology Challenges in Infants with Congenital Anomalies of ...pediatrics.med.miami.edu/documents/Miguel_Castellanos_-_Urology... · Urology Challenges in Infants with Congenital Anomalies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040305/5ea97dc25ca0a648663b5acf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Prenatal Hydronephrosis
• However, congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) can present with fetal hydronephrosis
• Goal: to detect cases that may affect the health and require antenatal and postnatal evaluation and management

Prenatal US: Diagnosis
• How do we deal with the large number of prenatally detected urinary tract abnormalities?
• How do we selectively evaluate them perinatally?
• How do we avoid over-testing, without under-testing those who may benefit?

Prenatal Hydronephrosis
• UPJO increased in frequency with severity of hydronephrosis
• In contrast, VUR was not associated with the severity of fetal hydronephrosis
• However, moderate to severe reflux (grades III through V) appears to be associated with a greater degree of renal pelvic dilation (RPD >10 mm) and ureter, both in utero and postnatally

Postnatal longitudinal evaluation of children with prenatal hydronephrosis
• 1034 charts of fetuses with PNH
• At last follow-up (mean age 20.6 months), hydronephrosis persisted in children with:
• Mild: 10%• Moderate: 24% • Severe: 63%

Risk for CAKUT and Postnatal Surgical Intervention with Increasing Severity of Fetal Hydronephrosis
• Meta-analysis of 1678 infants from 17 studies:
• Mild hydronephrosis: (≤7 mm in 2nd and/or ≤9 mm in 3rd): 12 %
• Moderate: (7-10 mm in 2nd / 9-15 mm in the 3rd third trimester): 45 %
• Severe: (>10 mm in 2nd / >15 mm in 3rd third trimester): 88 percent

How should we evaluate obstruction?
• When hydronephrosis is severe (SFU 3-4),functional testing (MAG 3 renal scan) should be used

Ultrasound evaluation of hydronephrosis
• Calyceal dilation may be best indicator of severity
• “Thinning” of parenchyma may reflect only dilation
• Extra-renal pelvis may look more severe than it is functionally

Management for UPJO (SFU gr. 3-4 hydronephrosis)
• If US confirms moderately severe dilation: MAG3
• If function >45% and washout < than 30 min – repeat US at 4-6 ms
• Repeat MAG3 at 6-12 months - re-assess “function”

Isolated Fetal Hydronephrosis:
The Every-day Question
• Should we screen for vesicoureteral reflux?
![Page 29: Urology Challenges in Infants with Congenital Anomalies of ...pediatrics.med.miami.edu/documents/Miguel_Castellanos_-_Urology... · Urology Challenges in Infants with Congenital Anomalies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040305/5ea97dc25ca0a648663b5acf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Isolated Fetal Hydronephrosis:Incidence of Reflux
In the context of prenatal hydronephrosis, VUR is present in a significant number of patients
• Arena, et al. (2001): 382 pts - VUR in 68 (17.8%)
• Brophy, et al. (2002): 234 pts - VUR in 40 (17.1%)

Isolated Fetal Hydronephrosis:
Screening for Reflux
• Benefits of screening: identify those patients with reflux before they
have an infection and damage their kidneys
• Burden of screening: we may identify patients with low grade reflux
with little risk of renal injury and therefore over-test
![Page 31: Urology Challenges in Infants with Congenital Anomalies of ...pediatrics.med.miami.edu/documents/Miguel_Castellanos_-_Urology... · Urology Challenges in Infants with Congenital Anomalies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040305/5ea97dc25ca0a648663b5acf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Is this Reflux Clinically Important?
• Ismaili, et al. (2002): 264 infants with prenatal hydro
• Had 2 neonatal US images
• If both normal (74), VCUG abnormal in 5 (6.7%)
• Can select low risk population with post-natal imaging
![Page 32: Urology Challenges in Infants with Congenital Anomalies of ...pediatrics.med.miami.edu/documents/Miguel_Castellanos_-_Urology... · Urology Challenges in Infants with Congenital Anomalies](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040305/5ea97dc25ca0a648663b5acf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Not screening for Reflux
• If a VCUG is not to be obtained, the family should be made aware of the clinical signs and symptoms of UTI
• A follow-up US is useful to assess renal growth and ensure the child has been well
• The chance of missing significant reflux is small (postnatal SFU 1-2)

Amniotic fluid (AF)
• Fetal urine becomes significant at the start of the second trimester
• By 20 weeks gestation, fetal urine accounts for > than 90 % of the amniotic fluid volumen
• Oligohydramnios at or beyond 20 week of gestation is is consistent with a decreased production of fetal urine and CAKUT

VAS: Lung Hypoplasia
• AF levels are critical for proper lung development during the canalicular phase (between weeks 16 and 24)
• Most severe fetal complication and cause of perinatal mortality
• VAS: ameliorate pulmonary hypoplasia

• Randomised women (UK, Ireland, and Netherlands) whose pregnancies were complicated by LUTO

Prenatal Intervention: Results
• Updated meta-analysis (2017): 112 fetuses with VAS - 134 treated conservatively
• VAS improved perinatal survival (from birth up to 6 months of age) (57% VAS v. 39% conservative treatment)
• 2-year renal function outcomes, VAS placement did not improve postnatal renal function

• Even with early VAS, postnatal morbidity remain high, emphasizing role of renal dysplasia, in postnatal renal failure
• Prenatal RPA measurement could have an important role as a non-invasive tool to predict postnatal renal function

Prenatal VAS: Conclusions
• From SRs and data from PLUTO trial, VAS increase early survival rates in patients with an initial poor prognosis
• Interventions do not have significant benefit on renal function
• “Renal Dysplasia”, insult is to early and led to postnatal renal failure

Goal
• Evaluate efficacy of PUV resection during early postnatal period
• Compare results between premature/low weight babies and term neonates

•2004 - 2015, 130 patients underwent endoscopic PUV resection
• 44 neonates (< 28 days), divided in 2 groups:• Group 1 (n=25): premature (<37 wks) / low weight (<2.5 Kg)• Grupo 2 (n=19): term / weight >2.5 Kg

Conclusion
• PUV resection is a safe an effective surgical option in premature and low weight babies
• Preterm/Low birth weights boys had a worse initial and 1 year renal function when compare with term neonates

Observations
• The major value of prenatal diagnosis is education for the expectant parent
• Perinatal decision-making should be based upon postnatal clinical outcomes
• CAKUT: Identify those patients at risk for renal injury, develop prevention strategies, and intervene when appropriate
