Left ventricular bright spot with bilateral renal pelvis dilation treatment
Disease description:
I am 26 weeks pregnant, and during the color ultrasound examination, the results showed an echogenic focus in the left ventricle and separation of the renal collecting systems in both kidneys. What should I do?

Left ventricular echogenic foci and bilateral renal pelvis dilation are abnormal findings that may be detected during prenatal ultrasound examinations. Left ventricular echogenic foci are mostly harmless and may be caused by myocardial calcification, fibrosis, or localized myocardial hypertrophy. Regular follow-up is needed to monitor for changes, and no specific treatment is required if no significant changes occur. Bilateral renal pelvis dilation measuring less than one centimeter is mostly physiological and requires no treatment. If the dilation exceeds one centimeter, it may indicate congenital ureteral stricture or renal developmental abnormalities, which require further evaluation and treatment after the baby is born. For both of these conditions, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, undergo regular check-ups, avoid unhealthy habits, and follow targeted treatment as directed by a physician. If additional symptoms or concerns arise, prompt medical attention should be sought to ensure maternal and fetal health.
