Renal pelvis separation indicates the presence of hydronephrosis in the fetus, which can be detected by ultrasound examination. It is located in the central position of the kidney, and many pregnant women are concerned about this situation. Early detection and treatment of the disease are necessary to reduce the harm to the fetus. So, when did fetal renal pelvis separation become known?
Fetal renal pelvis separation can be detected around 20 weeks of pregnancy, and at this time, it can be clearly seen through ultrasound examination. If the fetal renal pelvis separation is found, pregnant women should not be too anxious. As long as the renal pelvis separation is within 10mm, it is considered normal and can be observed at any time. This situation indicates that the fetus is holding urine due to physiological reasons, not disease factors. After the fetus is born, it can be restored to normal through urination.
If the fetal renal pelvis separation exceeds 10mm or even more, it is considered an abnormal condition, which is mostly caused by pathological factors. It is likely that the fetus has certain disease factors, such as kidney stones, ureteral malformations, etc. These diseases can cause urine to not be discharged normally, leading to renal pelvis separation. For this situation, timely surgery should be performed after the birth of the fetus in order to thoroughly treat the disease.
In addition, polyhydramnios can also cause fetal renal pelvis separation. If polyhydramnios is found during prenatal examination, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice for scientific adjustment to avoid endangering the health of oneself and the fetus.
