Investigations of renal tract anomalies will usually be performed by the local hospital (where possible) unless there is a concern about the need for early renal replacement therapy or high likelihood of early surgical / urological intervention.
We are always happy to provide antenatal counselling, either face to face or virtually, depending on the clinical situation and family / clinician preference.
