Welcome to health care magic.

1.The parameters mentioned are normal to the gestational age with correlation.
2.There is prominent right renal pelvis - which can be due to the right pelvis ureter junction obstruction can be one possibilities.
3.Other possibilities can be VUJ or distal ureteric pathology.
4.In this case the pelvis AP - anterior posterior diameter need to be monitored.
5.If any increase or decrease in the measurement should be monitored. At the same time AFI and foetal bladder need to be monitored.

Good luck.
