title: [The diagnosis of vesicopelvic reflux in pregnant women].
abstract: The diagnosis of vesicopelvic reflux (VPR) in pregnancy is not a simple task because of the requirements of noninvasiveness, safety, minimum radiation load, informative value. The authors suggest urinalysis and ultrasound (US) investigation as VPR screening tests in pregnancy. US VPR diagnosis meets the requirements of a screening method, has the advantages of a high VPR detection capacity, noninvasiveness, feasibility of further US monitoring, simultaneous study of the urological and obstetric status. High frequency of pre- and postnatal urinary reflux, the gape of the ureteral ostia as indirect signals of VPR in pregnant patients suggest that VPR may be characteristic of pregnancy, specific "pregnancy phenomenon". The authors provide US VPR classification the stages of which are usable in VPR and its complications prophylaxis.
