Fetal renal failure (FRF) has been one of the most misunderstood diagnoses in fetal medicine. But it is treatable if you know how, where, and when to get treatment.
FRF is marked by the inability to produce sufficient urine to maintain normal amniotic fluid volume, which is essential for normal fetal lung development.
