Amniotic fluid content in children with kidney and urinary tract anomalies determines pre- and postnatal development.

Background: Renal oligohydramnios (ROH) describes an abnormally low volume of amniotic fluid (AF) during pregnancy. ROH is mostly caused by congenital fetal kidney anomalies. The ROH diagnosis frequently implies an increased risk of peri- and postnatal fetal mortality and morbidity.
