Hi...an ultrasound scan doesn't tell you about the function of the kidney. You need a DMSA scan for this. a 2 days baby having a dilated pelvicalyceal system means that it is an antenatal hydronehphrosis. Many of these get better by themselves. If I were your pediatrician all I would do is a renal function testing in the blood and if it normal I would do follow ultrasound scans once in 3 months to see if it getting better by itself.
