My unborn baby has 'enlarged and echogenic kidneys', 4.7 and 4.5 cm long. What is the probability of ARPKD?Our kid is due on April 20th, and had the following report at a 36week ultrasound:
"noted are bilateral significantly echogenic fetal kidneys
measuring 4.7 and 4.2 cm in greatest longitudinal dimension."
What is the chance that our kid has a serious disease such as Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD)?

ARPKD, is primarily the result of undeveloped lungs and pulmonary complications.

honey I really think you need to ask your doctor... if you don't feel comfortable asking your doctor find a nurse or something... asking such a question on here is not a good ideal... This is something that only a doctor can answer who knows you your history and your pregnancy....
