A member asked:
I am 23 weeks pregnant and they told me my baby girls kidney is dilated. what are the causes of dilation of kidney and what can be the effects of it?

Fetal kidneys: Mild dilation of the kidneys is common in fetuses and generally is not serious. However more extreme degrees can indicate a condition that needs more careful medical attention. So it depends on the degree of dilation whether to become concerned or not. I recommend that you call and ask for more information from your doctor's office or discuss in detail at your next visit.
