Is There A Treatment Required For The Baby With Prominent Left Renal Pelvis?
Dear Sir,
I have female Kid, she is 7 months old. She had Left Renal Pelvis dilation before birth. We had another followup scan this week. The report says "Prominent Left renal Pelvis".
I would like to know whether we need any treatment for my baby. Your Advice would be great.
Hi...this does not require any treatment. So be rest assured. What you have quoted as left renal pelvis dilatation before birth is called antenatal hydronephrosis in medical terms. It is a self limiting disorder and will settle as the age progresses. The only thing that is indicated is serial ultra sound examinations and we need not worry if the size is constant or decreasing. Only if it increasing then a test called MCU is warranted. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
