An Interesting Relationship between Maternal Adipose Tissue Thickness and Maternal Pelvicalyceal System Dilatation.

CONCLUSION: In this study, a relationship between maternal BMI, VAS thickness, SAT thickness, the estimated fetal weight, birth weight, and renal pelvicalyceal dilatation have been shown. Increasing maternal adipose tissue may have a protective effect of mechanical pressure of growing uterus on the ureters. PMID: 31478185 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
