Hydronephrosis
Hydronephrosis is a term that describes extra fluid in the kidneys and/or ureters. It can sometimes be called "large kidneys" or "swollen kidneys." Hydronephrosis can be seen in a variety of conditions listed below. However, the majority of children diagnosed with hydronephrosis during pregnancy will have the hydronephrosis resolve within the first few years of life. Nevertheless, it is critical for an experienced pediatric urologist to make the distinction between the child with non-threatening hydronephrosis and the child whose hydronephrosis needs further management.
