25 y/o WF G1P0 with class B diabetes and a 20 week sonogram that shows anhydramnios and megacystis suggesting urethral level obstruction. Sonogram does not reveal the fetus' gender. Single kidney identified. Ureters not dilated, but image quality poor due to anhyramnios. What is the standard of care for this patient? Does in utero urinary tract diversion have a role in her care? How is in utero urinary tract diversion performed? What role does serial fetal urinalyses have in deciding her candidacy for diversion?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
