Kidney dilation in fetus
Hello,
I am 21 weeks now, During tiffa at 19 weeks i got to know that baby has both kidneys dilated with 8 and 9mm and mild urethra dilation. After in 21 weeks again I had the scan(after 10 days), and measurements of dilated kidneys are 11 and 13mm with mild urethra dilation. Pead surgeon suggested that baby should undergo surgery after born and radiologist told that growth in dilation is rapid in 10 days and told kidneys might not function well after born and baby may face issues with surgery so he suggested for termination. And i got to know that its a female baby, will she have more issues later after born? Could you please suggest me the best option for me.. either termination or continuation.. Please suggest me
Have you consulted a fetal medicine specialist
They can do other tests too to consider changing ngenital problems and will also be helpful in future pregnancy
If pregnancy is continued will need surgery post delivary and also supportive treatments
Consult immediately with fetal medicine specialist and deside with gunecologist
