This course provides a detailed exploration of echogenic kidneys in both fetal and neonatal cases, focusing on identification and differentiation of normal and abnormal renal echogenicity. Participants will learn to assess renal size, architecture, corticomedullary differentiation, and associated abnormalities to narrow down potential diagnoses. The curriculum covers a wide range of conditions, including polycystic kidney disease such as autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms, fetal obstructive uropathy, aneuploidy, congenital infections, overgrowth syndromes like Beckwith-Wiedemann, Perlman, and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel, and congenital nephrotic syndrome. The course emphasizes the pathophysiology, genetic implications, and prenatal and postnatal diagnostic techniques for these conditions. Attendees will gain insights into the stages of renal vein thrombosis and its clinical presentation, as well as the impact of conditions such as oligohydramnios and placentomegaly. Designed for healthcare professionals, this program equips participants with practical skills through case studies, imaging analysis, and advanced diagnostic approaches to improve patient care and outcomes.
