Dr. Richard Roberts answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Enlarged renal pel-: ves. A fetal anatomic survey by a perinatologist is indicated. The kidneys should be monitored once a month to be sure that the ureteropelvic junction does not constrict, a rare occurrence causing hydronephrosis, which is a treatable condition if found early .
