Besides, what is fetal Pyelectasis?
Pyelectasis is an increased collection of urine in part of the baby's kidney called the renal pelvis. Approximately 1 in every 40 pregnancies have pyelectasis, and this can be seen in one or both of the kidneys. Pyelectasis can be seen in any pregnancy, but is more common in boys.
Additionally, what is the difference between Pyelectasis and hydronephrosis? If the obstruction is mild or partial, an ultrasound may show an accumulation of urine in the renal pelvis, which is the area where the ureter connects to the kidney. This is called pyelectasis. If the obstruction is more severe, urine may back-up and collect in the kidneys. This is called hydronephrosis.
Keeping this in consideration, what is Pelviectasis?
Fetal pyelectasis or pelviectasis typically consists of a mild enlargement of the central area, or “pelvis,” of the kidney. (This is not to be confused with fetal hydronephrosis, which is an extreme ballooning of the kidney.) Urine can also back up from the bladder into the kidneys; this is known as reflux.
