A member asked:
What to do if i'm 36 wks preg, baby is diagnosed fetal hydronephrosis,renal pelvis measures 7.5cm,will she lose her kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do nothing now: Baby is almost certainly perfectly OK. If renal pelvis 7.5mm, nothing to worry about & will 99 - 100% settle down as a normal kidney. 7.5 cm is very large & will almost certainly require intervention. Will require:- pediatric urologist, post natal US , VCUG & nuclear scan after birth to evaluate swollen kidney for function. Removal only if no or essentially no function. Life with 1 kidney is OK.
