No treatment: Will likely be required. Hydronephrosis is usually discovered at prenatal obstetric ultrasound. Vast majority do not progress or remain stable ; thus require no treatment. Most mild hydronephrosis cases can be monitored by pediatricians who can order follow-up ultrasounds without need to refer to pediatric urologist. Suggest follow-up ultrasound examination in 6 months if only mild at 2 months.
