A Y Barakat,G M Baasiri,N A Mounla,

In an attempt to define the incidence of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urogenital system in Lebanon, 37,500 consecutive hospital records of newborn infant delivered at the American University of Beirut Medical Center from 1975 to 1985 were reviewed. The study revealed 6.32 abnormalities per 1000 newborns. These figures are lower than those reported in the literature, because of the very small number of autopsies performed in this country. A prospective, cooperative study by major nurseries in the country, performing fetal ultrasonography on every at-risk pregnancy, and the performance of more autopsies are needed to come out with more accurate figures on the incidence of these abnormalities in Lebanon. Early detection of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract is of vital importance to institute early treatment to decrease the occurrence of end-stage renal disease.
