Hi dear and thanks for your query.
Fetal pyelectasis (FP) refers to a prominence/dilatation of the renal pelvis in utero.
Fetal pyelectasis can be a relatively common finding in an antenetal ultrasound scan, often detected at the routine 2nd trimester morphology scan.
There is a recognised male predilection.
While amniotic fluid is normal and there is no another issue don't worry so much .
Be calm and wait until the next examination.
