If condition persist,it can be managed after birth

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM

I have gone through your findings in detail.

Main finding is mild dilatation of renal pelvis in right kidney.This condition is called as pyelectasis in which there is mild dilatation of fetal renal pelvis in AP diameter.
It is the most common fetal abnormality detected on prenatal ultrasound examination.

You need follow up scan.In may resolves with the progression of pregnancy,though chances are less as pregnancy is already 34 weeks.It is important to know about the amount of amniotic fluid and status of ureter.

If dilatation of renal pelvis persists,then it can be managed even after birth.
Baby may need antibiotics and few investigations.Since there is only mild dilatation,we can expect better results.Let's hope for the best.

Doppler parameters are within normal limit.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.

Take Care

Hello Pghoinu
Thanks for writing back

Amniotic fluid index(AFI) is within normal limit.It was necessary to ask because fetal renal problems are generally associated with decreased amniotic fluid.
