A safe place for mothers to discuss their babyās kidney/renal pelvis dilation. When posting, let us know your childās 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 āmildā & can resolve on their own. Grade 3 is considered āmoderateā & may or may not need to be surgically corrected. Lastly, Grade 4-5 is considered āsevereā & will most likely need corrective surgery. Surgical methods & timelines for surgery will vary case to case.
