Your unborn child is suffering from antenatal hydronephrosis. At 21 weeks the renal pelvic diameters are more and it will be classified as UTD A-2 .

Renal pelvis dilation and an isolated heart marker like this are common findings picked up on scans. Your MFM specialist's plan to recheck in two weeks is the right approach.
Next Steps
Keep the follow-up scan your specialist already scheduled, since these numbers can change and one reading isn't the final picture.
Health Tips
Please hold off on any decision about your pregnancy until that repeat scan and specialist review are done.
