Today, prenatal diagnosis of congenital urogenital malformations is mostly dependent on anatomical variations found on imaging. However, these findings can mislead us in telling us when to intervene, and about post-natal prognosis. Since many findings are dependent on multiple assessments, delayed diagnosis can occur, leading to less optimal outcomes compared to early intervention. Analyses of fetal urinary biomarkers have been proposed as a method of finding biological changes that are predictive for diagnosis and prognosis in fetuses at risk of kidney disease.
We interviewed a group of researchers that have demonstrated that by combining multiple omics traits extracted from fetal urine, the biological variability found in single omics data can be circumvented. By analyzing multiple fetal urine peptides and metabolites at single time point, the prognostic power of postnatal renal outcome in fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction is significantly increased. In this interview, we inquired about the technical aspects of the tests, challenges, and limitations the research group have come across, and how they envision the future for multi-omics fetal analysis in the clinic.
