- Abstract
We report a posterior urethral valves case diagnosed at 33 week's gestation on a fetus presenting with anamnios and urinary ascites. In this fetus, the serum beta2 microglobuline rate was high, suggesting a very poor renal prognosis. At 1-year-old, the creatinine rate is nearly normal. In case of urinary ascites, the serum beta2 microglobuline rate could be improved in relation with the transperitoneal reabsorption of this protein., (Copyright 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.
