Abstract
|
|
|
|
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in pregnant women. Urine culture is the gold standard for diagnosis of UTI, and E. coli is the most common pathogen. Antibiotic treatment of symptomatic or asymptomatic bacteriuria reduces the rate of pyelonephritis and low weight birth, although there is still no consensus on the optimal antibiotic regimen. Urolithiasis in pregnant women is the most common non-obstetrical cause of renal colic pain. Diagnosis and treatment are difficult. Special consideration should be taken in choosing the correct tool for diagnosis. Expectant therapy with pain medication and hydration should be considered first, although ureteroscopic stone removal has been shown to be safe and effective.
