20w pregnant, fetal ultrasound was normal except for: bilateral hydro.enlarged rt kidney with echogenic cortex and perirenal fluid. idea on diagnosis?

See a specialist: You need to see a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist. This will need to be followed to see if it's worsening. It sounds like a ureteral obstruction, which is more common in male fetuses.
