Potter Syndrome treatment in Aguascalientes

Potter syndrome, or Potter sequence, describes a set of abnormalities in the baby that result from a very reduced amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy, often linked to problems in the fetus's kidneys.

How it presents: It may be associated with particular physical features and with breathing difficulties due to limited lung development.

Common causes: It is usually related to kidney or urinary abnormalities in the fetus that decrease the production of amniotic fluid.

Which specialist treats it? After birth, the pediatrician performs the initial evaluation and coordinates with neonatology and pediatric nephrology depending on each case. When a prenatal study shows low amniotic fluid levels, it is advisable to discuss it with the professional who manages the pregnancy to provide the appropriate follow-up.
