My wife is 24 weeks pregnant and today she undergone ultra sound scan. In report its mentioned Left renal pelvis prominent measures 7mm and Right renal pelvis prominent measures 5.6mm . otherwise both all other factors are normal. Is this something to worry? what will be the future consequences?.
Urinary tract US during pregnancy may point out ureteropelvic dilatation due to (1) smooth muscle relaxation due to progesterone and (2) partial mechanical obstruction due to the growing uterus and its contents. Right URETER ES MORE PRONE TO DILATION THAN THE LEFT ONE FOR ANATOMICAL REASONS. We assume THAT CERTAIN DEGREE OF MATERNAL URETERAL DILATATION IS NORMAL, 5-10 MM (mild atelectasis) and is not related to maternal complications such as pyelonephritis (upper urinary tract infection). Your condition is considered as normal
