Hi,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
Your wife's ultrasound report says mild pelvicalyceal fullness. The diameter is 8mm. Upto 10 mm the diameter is considered normal. Also a few patients have mild dilatation even upto 15 mm diameter which resolves by the end of term or within 3-4 weeks after delivery.
There is no need to worry. Even the ureters and right kidney is normal. This further proves that there is nothing to worry.
You should go for a regular checkup at a later date maybe around 30-32 weeks and hopefully it might have been resolved by then.
Hope it sorts your problem.
