A member asked:

What does a prominent renal pelvis indicate in an anomaly scan?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually normal: In an adult ultrasound, and in the absence of other findings, a prominent renal pelvis is frequently seen as a normal anatomy variation of the kidney. If there are urologic symptoms as the reason behind getting the ultrasound however, follow up with a urologist should be made.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
