A safe place for mothers to discuss their baby’s kidney/renal pelvis dilation. When posting, let us know your child’s age (or how far along you are). If you know which kidney is affected & at what degree of severity, please include that as well. There are 5 grades of Hydronephrosis; 1 representing very minimal dilation & 5 representing severe dilation. Typically, grades 1 to 2 are considered “mild” & can resolve on their own. Grade 3 is considered “moderate” & may or may not need to be surgically corrected. Lastly, Grade 4-5 is considered “severe” & will most likely need corrective surgery. Surgical methods & timelines for surgery will vary case to case.
