48. Is Unilateral Renal Agenesis a Useful Screening Tool to Diagnose Mullerian Anomalies?

20-30% of women with Mullerian anomalies have coexistent renal anomalies and obtaining renal ultrasounds after a new diagnosis of Mullerian anomaly has become common practice among gynecologists. However, there are yet no formal recommendations to screen patients with a known congenital renal anomaly for a coexisting Mullerian anomaly. Friedman et al has proposed screening guidelines including pelvic ultrasound prior to menarche. The primary aim of this study is to provide data to support the proposed screening recommendations set forth by that prior review.
