Patient's question:
At 23 weeks and 5 days, a 4D ultrasound revealed a hyperechoic area at the lower pole of the left kidney, measuring 6.4 mm and 4.2 mm. My glucose screening showed low risk, and I haven't had NIPT or amniocentesis. What problems might my child have? Can I still keep the baby?Doctor's answer:
According to what you said, this is just the current result, and there is absolutely nothing wrong. There is no need to be upset. You can go for another check-up after a while. Sometimes, if the baby's position is not right, he may not see clearly. The detailed ultrasound examination is just a rough check, which includes the placenta, amniotic fluid, and vernix caseosa, all. A single check-up result cannot prove anything. It is necessary to conduct another follow-up check-up. Do not be upset.
