My unborn baby has 'enlarged and echogenic kidneys', 4.7 and 4.5 cm
long. What is the probability of a serious kidney disease?  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)?

Of course we shouldn't worry and just have the baby, but I just want to know!

Andy
