My fetus having right renal pelviectasis measures dilation in right kidney 4.3mm has anyone experienced this before? Help me pls

My son also had mild dilation at his 20 week scan. The doctor asked us to come back for a repeat scan after a month. The dilation had cleared up by then. In 97% of the cases dilation of the renal pelvis clears up on its own before birth. Your doctor should schedule a scan during the third trimester to make sure the condition has corrected itself. Complications are quite rare. Is your baby a boy? Renal pelviectasis is much more common in boy babies than girls. Take care.

Don’t worry about renal pelviectasis dear. 4.3 mm is a mild case and should get resolved by itself over the course of pregnancy. My baby too has a bit enlarged kidneys on both sides and Doctor said that it should be resolved on its own. I have another scan next month to check the status. I am very sure both our babies will be fine

BTW, I also wrote a detail post in our DD club.

Take care!
