T2-weighted MR image of twins. The upper twin was normal
with normal amniotic fluid. The lower twin had oligohydramnios
with a lower anterior abdominal wall defect (arrow).
CONCLUSION
A wide spectrum of abdominal abnormalities can be
detected in utero. Appropriate description of these
abnormalities is important to assess for associated structural abnormalities. Since many abdominal abnormalities are associated with aneuploidy and syndromes,
genetic counseling is important. Follow-up for growth
and assessment of interval progression of bowel obstruction in many abnormalities are also important.

Evaluation of the fetal urogenital tract is an integral
part of the obstetric ultrasound examination. Sonography depicts normal developmental anatomy and allows
detection and characterization of many genitourinary
abnormalities. In addition, assessment of the amniotic
fluid volume often provides important prognostic information regarding fetal renal function. Accurate and early
prenatal diagnosis is important because this may influence obstetric and neonatal management.
Urinary tract anomalies account for 33% of all malformations detected by routine prenatal sonography.
A systematic sonographic approach is proposed, which
includes a search for associated anomalies and detailed
evaluation of renal structure and function.

pattern, giving rise to the ureter, renal pelvis, calyces, and
collecting tubules. Through interaction with the metanephric mesoderm, the ureteric bud induces the formation of nephrons. In early embryonic life, the kidneys
are located in the pelvis, but they “ascend” to their adult
position by the 11th menstrual week. At this gestation,
the kidneys start to produce urine.
By the ninth menstrual week, the cloaca (caudal part
of hindgut) is divided by the urorectal septum into the
rectum posteriorly and the urogenital sinus anteriorly
1
(Fig. 39-1). The urinary bladder, the female urethra, and
most of the male urethra develop from the urogenital
sinus and the surrounding splanchnic mesenchyme. Initially, the bladder is continuous with the allantois, but
this structure soon constricts and becomes a fibrous cord,
the urachus, which extends from the apex of the bladder
to the umbilicus.
Embryology
The permanent kidney (metanephros) is the third in a
series of excretory organs in the human embryo, forming
after the pronephros and mesonephros.
2
In the seventh
menstrual week, the metanephros begins to develop
from two sources: the metanephric diverticulum (ureteric bud) and the metanephric mass of intermediate
mesoderm (Fig. 39-1). The ureteric bud is an outgrowth
from the mesonephric duct, near its entrance into the
cloaca. It elongates and branches in a dichotomous
Sonographic Appearance
In the first trimester the fetal kidneys are best examined
by transvaginal sonography. The kidneys are seen as oval,
hyperechoic structures in the paravertebral regions, with
a small, central sonolucent area caused by fluid in the
renal pelvis
3
(Fig. 39-2, A). By 12 to 13 weeks of gesta-
tion, the kidneys could be visualized in 99% of cases
with combined transabdominal and transvaginal sonog-

FIGURE 39-2. Normal appearance of kidneys at different gestational ages. A, Transvaginal scan at 13 weeks of
gestation in the coronal plane shows normal kidneys (calipers), which appear hyperechoic, with small central sonolucent areas caused by
fluid in the renal pelves. B, Transabdominal scan at 19 weeks in the transverse plane shows the kidneys (arrows) as paired isoechoic
structures adjacent to the fetal spine. C and D, Longitudinal and transverse scans at 33 weeks show the kidney well outlined by perinephric
fat, with normal corticomedullary differentiation. The pyramids (arrowheads) are hypoechoic. There is a small amount of fluid in the
central collecting system (black arrow).

transabdominal sonography (Fig. 39-2, B). As the fetus
matures, corticomedullary differentiation becomes more
obvious, especially in the third trimester (Figs. 39-2, C
and D). The renal pyramids orient in anterior and pos-
terior rows and are hypoechoic relative to the renal
cortex. In the third trimester the renal cortex is isoechoic
or slightly hyperechoic to liver and spleen. With fat
deposition in the perinephric region, an echogenic
border develops, and the kidney becomes better delineated. Normal fetal lobations are often visible and give
the kidneys an undulating contour.
The kidneys grow throughout pregnancy. Table 39-1
provides a nomogram of renal lengths at 14 to 42
weeks of gestation.
5
The often-quoted rule of thumb that
“renal length in millimeters approximates gestational age
in weeks” only applies to a narrow gestational age range
of 18 to 21 weeks. There are also published charts of
renal anterior-posterior diameter, transverse diameter,
and volume.
5
Sometimes, it is difficult to define the exact
renal borders, especially at the upper pole, because of
shadowing from ribs or poor distinction from the adrenal
gland. Fetal breathing can aid in renal visualization. It is
also important to avoid using an oblique section through
the kidney for measurement. The renal/abdominal
circumference ratio remains constant at 0.27 to 0.30
throughout pregnancy.
6
The calyces are not normally visualized, but some
fluid is typically seen in the renal pelvis. The highly
characteristic renal pelvic echo is often the key to
finding the kidneys in the second trimester. Measurements of the renal pelvis are discussed in the section on
hydronephrosis. The normal ureter is 1 to 2 mm in
diameter and is not normally visible.
By using transvaginal sonography, the bladder can
be seen as early as 11 weeks of gestation.

lateral to the bladder as they course toward the umbilicus

to 36 mL at 41 weeks.7 The normal bladder fills and
empties (either partially or completely) approximately
every 25 minutes (range, 7-43 min). Therefore, changes
in bladder volume should be observed during the course
of the obstetric sonogram.
Amniotic Fluid Volume
Evaluation of amniotic fluid volume (AFV) provides
important information about fetal renal and placental
function. Evaluation of AFV is a key component of fetal
biophysical assessment. After 16 weeks, fetal urine production becomes the major source of amniotic fluid.
11
Several methods are used to assess AFV. Subjective
assessment can be combined with semiquantitative techniques, such as measurement of the largest single pocket
(free of umbilical cord and fetal small parts) and amni-
otic fluid index (AFI). Intraobserver and interobserver
studies have shown that the subjective assessment of
AFV by experienced sonographers is reliable.
