Unborn baby kidney dilation
Hello,
I had my Early Tiffa Scan at 20 weeks, in which it was found that baby has Prominent bilateral fetal renal pelvis in both kidneys, measuring 6mm on right side and 7mm on left kidney side. So doctor suggested Late tiffa Scan.
Yesterday I had late tiffa at 26weeks, and found right kidney was measuring 6.4mm and left kidney was measuring 11.9mm. Left Kidney showed Calyceal dilation. Uterus not dilated, Bladder appeared keyhole shaped with dilation of proximal urethra.
Is this something to be worried about.? Why this problem occurs? Will it be cured by itself, or do i need to have any precautions for reducing the swollen kidney. Please guide me.
