Hello
Welcome to HCM forum
If the renal pelvis diameter is less than 15 mm then it causes no concern but more than 15 mm means obstruction in the urinary tract so it is better to repeat the scan after 15 days and consult a urologist and there is a separate department of fetal medicine who can guide you better
Best wishes
