“…No cases of UHN were identified in the first trimester of pregnancy. These data confirmed the literature evidence highlighting that UHN is rare in the first part of the pregnancy, and more frequent in the second and third trimester of pregnancy (2,5,6,8).…”

“…This is far lower than the 63-100% reported by previous studies, but far higher than the 4.1-9% reported by other authors. [1][2][3]8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The reason for this wide variation in incidence rates may be as result of the use of different grading systems which are very subjective in the assessment of hydronephrosis in pregnancy. It may also be due to the differences in the genetic makeups of people that live in the different geographical regions of the world.…”

“…This is keeping with reports from previous studies. [1][2][3][10][11][12][13][15][16][17] The reason for this may be due to the dextrorotation of the pregnant uterus to the right, compressing the right ureter, and partially sparing the left ureter. The crossing of the right ureter by the right iliac and ovarian vessels in the pelvic brim may also be a predisposing factor to pelvicalyceal dilatation.…”

Background: Hydronephrosis is a common finding in normal pregnancy. It is the dilatation of the renal calyces and pelvis by urine, as a result of obstruction of the outflow of urine distal to the renal pelvis. It is usually physiological. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of maternal hydronephrosis, and correlate it with age, parity and gestational age in normal pregnancy in Bayelsa State, Nigeria.Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the obstetrics and gynaecology, and radiology departments of the two tertiary hospitals in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, over a six-month period. Sonographic measurements of pelvicalyceal diameters of 400 consecutive normal pregnant women were done, after written informed consent. Data were entered into a pre-designed proforma, and analysed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 25.0. Results were presented in frequencies and percentages for categorical variables; mean and standard deviation for continuous variables; Student’s t-test to compare sample means; and Chi-square for associations.Results: Four hundred pregnant women were scanned. Pelvicalyceal dilatation was present in 144 (36%) women; it affected one kidney in 108 (27%) women; while in 36 (9%) women, the two kidneys were affected. Renal calculi were present in 16 (4%) women. The right kidney was affected in 12 (3%) women and the left kidney in 4 (1%) women.Conclusions: The prevalence of hydronephrosis in this study is lower than that from many centres. Pelvicalyceal dilatation was more on the right, and the degree of dilatation increased with increasing gestational age.
