Hi I am pregnant and in scan i found that my baby has a pelvicalcyeal dilation in right kidney (1 cm) and left kidney (0.6 cm) at 27.6 week. At 20.2 week it was 0.6 cm and 0.4 cm in right and left kidney respectively. Please suggest me what to do. I am very worried. I had 3 miscarriages prior to that and now i dont want to loose my baby boy. Please help for god sake and advice me what to do.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Mild dilatation of the fetal urinary tract is a common prenatal ultrasound finding. However, at 10 mm on the right side, there is a slight concern which must be ad Chat Doctor.  The left pelvicalyceal dilatation is not significant. A slight tendency towards any congenital posterior urethral valve must be looked into. You have not mentioned the amount of amniotic fluid and I assume that is normal. Please continue the pregnancy without much anxiety as in most cases the baby will be normal and even if there is any small problem, it can be discussed with a pediatrician and urologist just after birth and corrected.
