A Study to Analyze the Renal Anhydramnios Fetal Therapy (RAFT)

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

This study aims to determine the proportion of neonates surviving to successful dialysis after serial amnioinfusions (defined as use of a dialysis catheter for > 15 continuous days) and to determine the feasibility of serial amnioinfusions for early pregnancy renal anhydramnios (EPRA). It also aims to perform an exploratory study of the in utero natural history of untreated EPRA and to examine correlations between prenatal ultrasound, echocardiogram, MRI, and lung specific factors in amniotic fluid as predictive biomarkers of the success of RAFT for EPRA. Lastly, the study aims to determine the short term and long-term quality of life of patients and families that undergo RAFT.
