The tubes can be"blocked"or not attach/form correctly- causing the kidneys to not function properly. My brother was born with this- only they didnt realize it until he was about 20 years old and then he had surgery where they"cut out"the bad"blocked"part of the tube from his kidney and just re-attached it in a different spot. I know it's scary! Hang in there and best of luck!Some other possible things they saw:- Fluid in the Kidneys/enlarged kidney. Enlarged kidneys are commonly detected on ultrasounds before birth. The majority of time, nothing serious is wrong. In a small number of children, there could be an obstruction or problem that will require treatment. The most important thing at this time is whether the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby is normal. Enlarged kidneys are quite common and are not due to anything mothers have done during pregnancy. Evaluation needs to be done after the child is born.
