The answers may come with a consultation with a pediatric nephrologist and urologist. Your primary doc should know what's available wherever you live. The post does not provide us with what country you are in. This site does not allow us access to uploaded x-rays/lab/etc.

Needs close follow-up by pediatric nephrologist. Since her right kidney is not compensating well, she's likely to require dialysis in near future and adequate nutritional support.

Severe hydro nephrosis can be corrected by a pediatric nephrologist and the reason for problem with right kidney investigated. Suggest go to an academic center. Good luck.

An ultrasound and renal function testing may be helpful in following your niece. Your Nephrologist will follow her and monitor the growth and function of her renal system. Watch for signs of swelling and mono urinalysis. Discus if a special diet is recommended.
