About this trial

The investigators propose a standardized prenatal management, based on the scientific evidence published in the literature, to manage prenatally fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO). The present study is a prospective registry that will evaluate and validate this standardized prenatal management for LUTO.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Presence of abnormal chromosomal/genetic disease

Presence of other associated structural anomaly that is not part of LUTO.

Trial population

All pregnant women referred to our Fetal Center with confirmed diagnosis of fetal LUTO. The diagnosis of fetal LUTO is based on the presence of enlarged bladder and bilateral hydronephrosis.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Fetal Intervention for LUTO

    Procedure/Surgery

    Fetal vesico-amniotic shunting placement consists in placing a shunt (stent) percutaneously from fetal bladder to the amniotic cavity under ultrasound guidance. Fetal cystoscopy will be performed using a thin scope that will be introduced to the fetal bladder for evaluation of the cause of the obstruction and ablation of the posterior urethral valves.

Treatment groups

50 Participants
are divided into 4 treatment groups
Group A: Group 11 intervention
Group B: Group 21 intervention
Group C: Group 31 intervention
Group D: Group 40 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Survival rate

The survival rate from the prenatal period up to 24 months of life will be evaluated

Time frame
Survival rate since prenatal period to 24 months of life

Secondary outcomes

1

Postnatal renal function at 6 months of life

Renal function during neonatal period and at 6 months of life will be evaluated by analyzing the serum creatinine, weight and height, renal function, bladder function, lung disease, need for dialysis and transplantation, arterial hypertension, incontinence and developmental delay

Time frame
During neonatal period and at 6 months of life
2

Postnatal renal function at 12 months of life

Renal function during neonatal period and at 12 months of life will be evaluated by analyzing the serum creatinine, weight and height, renal function, bladder function, lung disease, need for dialysis and transplantation, arterial hypertension, incontinence and developmental delay

Time frame
During neonatal period and at 12 months of life
3

Postnatal renal function at 24 months of life

Renal function during neonatal period and at 24 months of life will be evaluated by analyzing the serum creatinine, weight and height, renal function, bladder function, lung disease, need for dialysis and transplantation, arterial hypertension, incontinence and developmental delay

Time frame
During neonatal period and at 24 months of life
