Abstract

In general, the incidence of urinary tract anomalies in congenital heart disease is higher than that ingeneral population. So authors performed abdominal cineradiography in 1045 infants and children undergoing cineangiographic examinations for congenital heart disease, as a screening method for the detection, the incidence, and the narure of associated urinary tract anomalies. The results were as follows: 1. The incidence of urinary tract anomaly associated with congenital heart disease was 4.1%(<2% in general population). 2. Incidenceof urinary tract anomalies was 4.62% in 671 acyanotic heart diseasess, 3.20% in 374 cyanotic heart diseases. 3.There was no constant relationship between the type of cardiac anomaly and the type of urinary tract anomaly.
