Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Can I please know little more details that why was the ultrasound done? Any symptoms were there? This will help me in making little more accurate diagnosis. But, as for now I feel that there is some obstruction somewhere in the urinary tract that needs to be assessed. Looks like hydronephrosis as for now. Well, please tell me if there is any difference of stream while he passes urine.
Any thing like fever or pain in the abdomen. Please if possible get a DTPA scan which can accurately say whether there is an obstruction or not and it also assesses the kidney function. Please follow up the case of the baby as soon as possible because sometimes its better to get things done in emergency as if its hydronephrosis we can preserve the functions of the kidney as well. Further management can be planned depending on the investigations suggested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Athar
