Question
During the 23-week prenatal examination, a child’s right kidney was found to have a duplication through a 4D ultrasound. What impact will this condition have on the child’s future health?
Answer
At 23 weeks of pregnancy, during a 4D ultrasound at the county hospital, it was discovered that the child has a duplicated kidney on the right side. Although this condition is not common in diagnosis, it can still occur. If there are no abnormalities in chromosomes and other growth and development, and the other kidney is developing normally, the impact on the child is relatively minor. It is recommended to undergo a 4D ultrasound at a regular three-level A-grade hospital to confirm the diagnosis.
