Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Main finding is mild dilatation of renal pelvis of fetal right kidney.This condition is called as pyelectasis in which there is mild dilatation of fetal renal pelvis in AP diameter.
It is the most common fetal abnormality detected on prenatal ultrasound examination.
You need follow up scan.In may resolves with the progression of pregnancy.It is important to know about the amount of amniotic fluid and status of ureter.
If dilatation of renal pelvis persists,then it can be managed even after birth.
Baby may need antibiotics and few investigations.Since there is only mild dilatation,we can expect better results.Let's hope for the best.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
