Patient's question:
I am 32 weeks pregnant. The MRI showed a 0.5 cm fusion of the right renal collecting system in the fetus. The left kidney is approximately 5.22.7 cm in size, with a round shape, dilated renal pelvis and calyces, a 3.81.2 cm dark area in the renal pelvis, a 1.6 cm anteroposterior diameter of the renal pelvis, 0.58 cm renal parenchymal thickness, and full-length dilated ureters with the widest point at 0.8 cm. The fetal placental circulation function is normal. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
This is a reminder that there may be kidney hydronephrosis, as the accumulation is considerable, so it may not be naturally resolved. It is recommended to have regular follow-up tests, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure adequate calcium intake. You don’t need to worry about this condition. You are currently in the late stage of pregnancy, and it is common to have kidney system issues reappear. Please attend prenatal check-ups on schedule. The above advice is for the question "What should I do in this situation during prenatal care?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
