Diagnosis of genitourinary defects usually involves a combination of methods:
- Prenatal Ultrasound: Many defects can be detected before birth through routine prenatal ultrasounds. - Physical Examination: A thorough newborn examination can identify visible abnormalities. - Imaging Tests: Postnatal imaging tests like ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans can provide detailed information. - Laboratory Tests: Urinalysis and kidney function tests can help assess the severity and impact of the defect.
