Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I am currently 38 weeks pregnant, and there is a 12mm pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) dilatation on the right side of the fetus. Is this a serious problem? If this issue persists after the baby is born, what should I do?Additionally, the amniotic fluid index is 99mm. Is it too low? What should I do? Thank you!
First follow-up question: Doctor, the hospital's result is that the right kidney has hydronephrosis? What should I do with the baby after birth?
Also, please help me check the issue regarding amniotic fluid. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, fetal bilateral renal separation refers to a small amount of fluid accumulation in the baby's kidneys. Hello, most of the time it is caused by the baby holding back urine, so you don't need to be too anxious. Regular follow-up checks should be fine, and I wish your baby stays healthy.
