What Does This 20 Weeks Pregnancy Scan Result Indicate?
Question: I went for 20 weeks scan and found out my babys both kidneys are only 5 percentile in growth. I went for amniocentesis got premlinary result to be negative. Is there a chance my babys kidney will grow.
Brief Answer:
yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Yes, there is a chance that kidneys will grow and you should hope that it will since it is not uncommon that kidney are smaller in size but it may have adequate function. also, if only one kidneys show adequate grow,it is enough for normal function. You should repeat ultrasound in 1 week and check amnion fluid volume. Wish you good health. Regards
