[Changes in the kidney and upper urinary tract in pathologic pregnancy follow-up. Results of an ultrasonic study].
In 201 women with pathologic course of pregnancy (161 women suffering from urinary tract infection, pyelonephritis and colic, 40 women with gestosis) the kidneys and the upper urinary tract were studied by means of ultrasonography. In 86% of the 161 women with colic, urinary tract infection and septic complications a dilation of the renal collecting system was found, in 39.4% of them a marked dilation (sagittal diameter of more than 15 mm). Frequency and grade of dilation have been uncreased from the first to the third trimenon, with a significant preference of the right side. In patients suffering from gestosis a lower frequency and grade of dilation was found. Pregnant women with a sagittal diameter of the pyelon of more than 15 mm should controlled more intensively prae and post partum, but the grade of dilation is not the only criterion of therapeutic strategies.
