Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Mild dilatation of the fetal urinary tract is a common prenatal ultrasound finding. However at 10 mm on the right side, there is a slight concern which must be addressed after birth. The left pelvicalyceal dilatation is not significant. A slight tendency towards any congenital posterior urethral valve must be looked into. You have not mentioned about the amount of amniotic fluid and I assume that is normal. Please continue the pregnancy without much anxiety as in most cases the baby will be normal and even if there is any small problem, it can be discussed with a pediatrician and urologist just after birth and corrected.
