what is splaying of the left intrarenal, frank hydronephrosis?

Question

i have 3 month old little girl and both those things were on here ultra sound report i was wondering what they are and if the will get worse or better over time or what happens

Answer 1

Hydrohephrosis is swelling in the kidney. Splaying is an adjective that means something is lined up at the wrong angle. Intrarenal means 'within the kidney.' So, something within the kidney is lined up at the wrong angle and causing swelling.

You might ask your doctor to explain what exactly is wrong in plain english, and ask what to expect from this. It could heal on its own, or may need some treatment down the road. Call the docs office and ask them your questions.
