Patient's question:
21 Thursday, 4D ultrasound showed the left kidney of the fetus had fusion of 0.9, everything else was normal. Today at 29 weeks, the left kidney fusion was 1.5. The ductus arteriosus was tortuous. Everything else was normal. I want to consult if this is serious? Is fusion below 1 always a problem for the baby? Or is it also possible for the baby to be normal at birth?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, you are 21 weeks pregnant. The four-dimensional ultrasound suggests that the fetus has hydronephrosis, and the amount is significant, in addition to arterial tortuosity. It is necessary to undergo prenatal diagnosis, pay attention to rest, enhance nutrition, and avoid overexertion. Fetal hydronephrosis is a common developmental anomaly, generally not exceeding grade 1. If the amount of accumulation increases after birth, it may lead to kidney atrophy. You can consult the doctor in person and make a decision based on the doctor's advice.
