In current obstetrical practice, polyhydramnios and oligohydramnios are usually detected during a routine prenatal ultrasound
Oligohydramnios usually associated with absence of both kidneys
Not usually. The defect that causes spina bifida is not related to the causes of oligohydramnios.

Oligohydramnios occurs when a pregnant woman does not have enough amniotic fluid. It can cause improper development of the fetus. It is not a healthy condition.
On average, the normal volume of amniotic fluid at 37 weeks is about 1000 mL or 1 L (34 fl oz). While this volume can vary significantly from one pregnancy to another, during late pregnancy a volume of less than 400 mL (13.5 fl oz) is called oligohydramnios; more than 2000 mL (68 fl oz) is called polyhydramnios.
Oligohydramnios means scanty amniotic fluid.
Polyhydramnios is the presence of excessive amniotic fluid surrounding the unborn infant.Amniotic fluid surrounds and cushions the infant throughout development. Decreased or excessive amounts of amniotic fluid may be associated with abnormalities in the fetus. Polyhydramnios may result from failure of the fetus to swallow and absorb amniotic fluid in normal amounts. This may occur as a result of gastrointestinal disorders, neurological problems, or a variety of other causes. Polyhydramnios may also be related to increased fluid production, as is the case with certain fetal lung disorders. Sometimes, no specific cause for polyhydramnios is found.esophageal atresiaduodenal atresiaanencephalyhydrops fetalisachondroplasiaBeckwith-Wiedemann syndromediaphragmatic herniagastroschisismultifetal gestations (for example, twins or triplets)gestational diabetes
Oligohydramnios in the first trimester refers to a condition where there is an abnormally low amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the developing fetus. This can indicate potential issues such as fetal kidney problems, urinary tract abnormalities, or placental insufficiency. Early detection is crucial, as it may lead to further investigations and monitoring to ensure the health of both the fetus and the mother. However, isolated cases of oligohydramnios in early pregnancy may resolve on their own as the pregnancy progresses.
Amniotic fluid is 98% water and 2% salts and cells from the baby. Low levels of amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios) can cause complications in pregnancy, Oligohydramnios can cause complications. amniotic fluid is made by the mother's body. After month 4, the baby starteto make a contribution to the amniotic fluid by urinating into it.
