Patient's question:
The child is now three months old since birth. During the 8th month of pregnancy, a thorough examination revealed a renal pelvis fusion of approximately 0.6mm. After birth, no follow-up examination has been conducted, and it is unclear whether it is necessary to check at the hospital. Currently, urination has been normal.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Detailed clarification from the doctor.
Doctor's answer:
For children, long-term follow-up is important. Choosing an unreliable pediatric hospital and going for regular checks of urine tests, kidney function, and kidney ultrasound to closely monitor the disease's progression is crucial. If mild hydronephrosis due to intestinal obstruction can be resolved in the neonatal period, kidney function and morphology can return to normal completely. In 85% of cases, neonatal hydronephrosis is physiological, and only 15% require surgery.
