Dear Doctor, My wife is carrying and child is 35w 4d old. During full growth scan it was observed that there is a mild dilation of right renal pelvis. Ap diameter of right renal pelvis is 9.5mm and left renal pelvis is 6.6 mm. My Doctor said nothing to worry like that. I am having fear that what anamolies can occur to child in future.  Is this curable In future? What is the possible reasons for this dilation? Please help me to get answers..
Hi there,Please do not worry. Unilateral(one-sided) dilatation of renal pelvis is not at all a concern especially, if it is less than 10 mm. This will most definitely 99% of the time resolve by itself after delivery. It does not indicate anything significantly wrong with your baby. If the baby passes urine in the first 24 hours of life, that would indicate that the kidneys and renal systems are working fine. You could just get an ultrasound of the baby done at 3 months after birth to reassure yourself. Do not be concerned. Hope this helps. Regards.
