Patient's question:
Yesterday, I went with my wife for a 4D ultrasound. What does "left renal pelvis combined" in a 4D ultrasound mean? Can the child be okay?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is still considered to conduct the test around the 20th week of pregnancy. The result shows a fusion of the left renal pelvis, which raises the possibility of considering conditions like Trisomy 18 or Trisomy 13. Particularly when both renal pelvises are fused, the likelihood and potential risks are higher. If it is only a simple case of one side being affected, it may also be related to congenital growth and development issues in the child. It is necessary to review whether the previous NT and Down syndrome screening have passed.
