Summary

This trial aims to see if giving regular amnioinfusions to fetuses with severe kidney problems can improve their chances of survival. The study will also investigate if this procedure helps the fetus survive until dial

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant individuals whose fetuses have severe kidney issues leading to low amniotic fluid, which can impact lung development. It's not specified who can't join the trial, but typically those with additional health risks or conditions that could interfere with the study may be excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether adding fluid to the amniotic cavity (amnioinfusion) regularly can improve survival chances for fetuses with serious kidney problems until they're able to receive dialysis or a kidney transplant after birth.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, amnioinfusion procedures may carry risks such as infection, preterm labor, or harm to the fetus. Close monitoring during the trial aims to minimize these risks.
