31-week fetus ultrasound data is it severe

Patient's question:

31-week fetus ultrasound shows left kidney size 4.33x1.94, renal pelvis and calyces dilated in a petal-like shape, maximum anteroposterior diameter 1.36cm, thinnest renal cortex 0.34cm, upper part of left ureter width about 0.39cm, lower segment width about 0.66cm

Doctor's answer:

Hello, don't worry. In normal fetal kidneys, the collecting system may have mild separation, and if the separation is no more than 6 millimeters, it's nothing to be concerned about. Your condition requires regular follow-up checks at the hospital. Pay attention to fetal movement. Generally, doctors recommend that women with prenatal examination risk signs should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should also create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing you a healthy delivery.
