Question : For my 22 weeks baby, scanning report says baby has got enlarged kidneys with very poor functioning. Doctors are suggesting to terminate the pregnancy. Is there any treatment for unformed kidneys at 22 weeks of age ?

Hello,

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns about unformed kidneys.

Before I answer your question, I would like to see the complete scan report.

Scan report will give me information about the kidney malformation so that I can assess viability and if termination of pregnancy is needed.Please scan and attach a copy of the ultrasound scan report.

I will wait for ultrasound scan report.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
