hi my name is rukshana I am 38 weeks pregnant.today at ultrasound they just found that baby has some fluid in his kidneys. is that means he will have any downsyndrome or any kind of abnormalities?thanks. rukshana
Hi Rukshana, I have gone through your question. Fluid collection in the kidneys is known as hydronephrosis and is found in many conditions like: 1. Urinary tract malformation 2. Chromosomal anomalies, especially Down syndrome 3. Idiopathic( no cause found) I would suggest you to consult a fetal medicine specialist so that a detailed anomaly ultrasound can be done. I would further suggest you to get a ultrasound of your newborn and get proper management of the baby by a paediatric urologist. Karyotype of the baby should be done. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health.
