        Depends on the degree of swelling of the kidney of the baby. It may improve with progression of pregnancy in approx 50% cases . Has a little bit association with aneuploidy as well. Will need follow up and post natal ultrasound and evaluation.  Follow up with your obstetrician/ fetal medicine specialist to see how things progress.
