Is Increasing Swelling Around The Kidney Of A Child In Womb Concerning?
My unborn child is 7 months and the doctors are concerned with the increasing swelling around one kidney. The other kidney appears to be fine. They have mentioned that surgery may be necessary to remove the kidney at birth. Is this a cause for concern and does it effect the child's abilities to participate in sports and other activities.

Yes its a matter of concern but don't worry. Consult paediatric surgeon for this. definite diagnosis will be made only after delivery after complete tests. I think removal of one kidney won't affect your child's abilities to participate in sports and other activities.
