Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is the most common anomaly of fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) and is characterized by an abnormal congenital obstructing membrane that is located within the posterior urethra associated with significant obstruction of the male bladder restricting normal bladder emptying.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for posterior urethral valve has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: 1-9 in 100,000 (Uncommon).
5 clinical trials registered, 3 recruiting. Interventions under study include procedural interventions, drug therapy, and other interventions. Pipeline includes 1 PHASE3, 1 PHASE2, 1 EARLY_PHASE1. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
