Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Hydonephrosis of kidney could be due to many causes. The commonest being pelvi-Ureteric Junction obstruction. In majority of the cases the Hydonephrosis subsides after birth of baby. I would suggest you to relax and be prepared for delivery. Also ultrasound of baby is to be done on 3rd day after birth to reassess the progress. Also ask the radiologist to look for
1. Pelvis AP diameter
2. Corticomedullary differentiation
3. Presence of hydroureter
4. Bladder wall thickness and key hole sign
I suggest you to send the report to a specialist Pediatric Surgeon present in ellite panel member in Healthcare-Magic.
Take care
