Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query
Your prenatal ultrasound scanning of abdomen done at 7 months pregnancy has revealed left kidney of the fetus to be hydronephrotic with transverse diameter of the left renal pelvis being 16.9 mm.

Diameter of normal Renal Pelvis at 7 months pregnancy varies from 5-7 mm .Looking at the finding that left renal pelvis is 16.9 mm in diameter with normal ureter suggest that the fetes has congenital Pelvi Ureteric Junction (PUJ) Obstruction with considerable back pressure effect on left kidney (Hydronephrosis ),

You have to to consult qualified Urologist pre delivery and immediately after delivery and take a decision to explore need to decompress the kidney which will depend upon the status of kidney function and and degree of hydronephrosis at that particular time.

This is a common abnormality and is curable
