As I read that kidney disorder may be factor of dawn syndrom plzz im very scared
Hi, The affected kidney is likely to be obstructed which is not uncommon, and certainly does not mean the child has Downs syn Chat Doctor.  Another possibility is that the kidney is recycling the urine from the bladder, and we call it reflux. Either way, as long as the opposite kidney is doing well, you need not worry about this. Instead, you should be following up carefully, and soon after the delivery of your child, say after the first 72 hours or so, you can get an ultrasound and see what is the nature of illness which has affected this kidney. Either way, this looks eminently correctable, and I would not worry about it at all, if I were you.
