What Does The Following Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 14 Jun 2017

Question: Hi my wife undergoing tiffa scan at 19 weeks ultrasound scan in the reports all are normal except both fetal renal pelvis 6mm is it a major problem or not please help us

Brief Answer:
fairly normal.

Detailed Answer:
hello,
its fairly normal if the pelvis diameter remains less than 10mm. This would need to be followed up with 3 weekly scans to check for any increase or evidence of obstruction in future , but considering the sizes are bilateral , it is not likely to be causing a problem in future.

Thank you so much sir my wife really worried about this. Sir,is there any chance to increase the fetal renal pelvis dilation size during pregnancy if it is more 10 mm in bothwhat will happen to baby

Detailed Answer:
If the diameter increases then that indicates that there is a blockage in the urinary system of the foetus and that if increases further can damage foetal kidneys and hence may require intrauterine paediatric surgical intervention.

Detailed Answer:
you cannot do anything to decrease the size by medication. all onecan do is follow up. whatever intervention if needed is actually avoided till delivery and usually vaginal delivery is possible if there are no other obstetrical contraindications.
