Regular antenatal follow-up was carried out. Among the two groups, Numeric variables were compared using the unpaired Student's t-test. For pair comparisons, paired t-test was applied. A chi-square test or an exact Fisher test was used to compare categorical variables between groups. All analyzes were bipolar and P <0.05 was taken statistically substantial. The software used is statistical version 6 (Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA: Stat Soft Inc., 2001) and Graph Pad Prism (San Diego, California, USA: Graph Pad Software Inc., 2007). Results: A total of 50 gravid females diagnosed with urological problems were included in the study. The study population revealed the following urological diseases: macroscopic hydronephrosis 5 (10%), moderate hydronephrosis 38 (76%), kidney stones 6 (12%), hydro ureter 32 (64%), nephrolithiasis 4 (8%), Cases of PUJ obstruction 9 (18%), pyelonephritis 10 (20%) and bladder tumor and abscess of the kidney 2 (4%).

It is necessary to distinguish physiological changes from pathological conditions by making the first diagnosis. Urologists play a key role in managing the complex processes of urological diseases. In the coordinated approach of obstetricians, urologists are required to provide the best care to both mother and fetus. Key Words: Urological disorders, pregnancy, complications.
