Fetus with hydronephrosis seeking treatment

Patient's question:

Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. I'm wondering if the fetus has hydronephrosis and needs treatment.

Doctor's answer:

The fetus has hydronephrosis, and there is a possibility of complete recovery as it continues to grow and develop. Do not worry too much. During the child's kidney development process, it is possible to experience a recurrence of hydronephrosis at some point, which is a normal part of growth and development. Please wait for about 2-3 weeks and then have a few follow-up checks to assess the changes in hydronephrosis. If the hydronephrosis increases again, there is a possibility of complete recovery.
