Hydronephrosis in Pregnancy and Its Associated Findings in Urinalysis

Abstract

This study aims to assess the incidence of maternal hydronephrosis in pregnancy and the associated findings in urinalysis. One thousand pregnant women were included in this study: 400 were primigravida and 600 were multigravida. We found that 80% of pregnant women suffer from some degree of hydronephrosis, with primigravida significantly higher than multigravida (90% and 73%, respectively). In urinalysis, 40% of pregnant women with hydronephrosis suffer from urinary tract infections.
