Fluid in kidneys: The fetal pyelectasis is the dilation of the fetal renal pelvis. This dilation could be secondary to an obstructive process the the fetal urinary tract or a back flow of urine in the fetal urinary tract. Obstruction can occur at the level of the kidney, the ureter or the outlet of the bladder (urethra). The diagnosis is made by ultrasound during pregnancy.
