How newborns undergo ultrasound examination

Patient's question:

After a newborn is born, a color Doppler ultrasound at 3 days old revealed severe hydronephrosis of both kidneys and congenital stenosis of the renal pelvis transition zone. When is the best time to treat this? Should it be after the full moon, or should treatment start immediately?

Doctor's answer:

This condition is congenital. Please pay attention to follow-up ultrasound examinations. If necessary, surgical treatment may be required. It is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound after the baby is full-term to compare the changes. You can also go to a larger pediatric specialty hospital's urology department for further examination, such as isotope renal imaging or MRU.
The child is troubled by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to seek immediate medical treatment to avoid blindly using small advertisements for drugs. Rational medication is needed. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
