Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
At 20 weeks of pregnancy renal pelvis dilation measuring between 5 and 9 mm might be seen in some fetuses. About one in 100 fetuses will have this finding. It is seen that in that group, 4 percent of cases of renal pelvis dilation will require further treatment after birth. Dilation should be checked for in your next scan and further scans in the pregnancy. Should there be persistent dilatation or any increase, a fetal medicine may be consulted.
Hope this helps

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Yes,Ultrasonography is rightly reported that minimal fullness in left kidney is probably functional in nature.Minimal fullness is seen before drainage of urine into the ureter.It is temporarily stored in pelvis before drainage.
You can have follow up after one month to see resolution.
You don't worry.It is absolutely normal.
There is no cause of dilatation.
Ureters are not dilated.urinary bladder and bowel are normal.
Wish you all the best.
Take Care
