Hydronephrosis in most babies is a minor condition that goes away on its own. It likely represents increased urine production by the fetus prior to delivery that goes away with time.
Occasionally, hydronephrosis may be due to an obstruction that is caused by abnormal development of the ureter (the tube that carries the urine from the kidney to the bladder). Hydronephrosis may also represent the backwash of urine from the bladder to the kidney known as vesicoureteral reflux.
