There were more details revealed upon US check up. The size of pelvis appeared as 38cm X 12cm and parenchyma was almost invisible. The urologist diagnosed this condition as "multi cystic kidney". Moreover, the quantity of amniontic fluid is decreased. The question is to discontinue pregnancy. Kind regards, Dr. D. Galkin, MD At Tue, 25 Feb 2003, Terry J.

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.
