Question 1

the following is on my scan report what does it mean? "the study shows bilateral moderate pelvicalyceal dilation with extra-renal renal pelvises, which is associated with moderate dilation of the bilateral ureters to the level of the ureterovesical j?

Accepted Answer

: You need intervention as soon as possible. If there is no evidence of urinary tract infection, cystoscopy and retrograde stents are indicated. If active infection is present you need bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy tubes. If delayed, kidney impairment, acute to chronic, may ensue. With cystoscopy, etiology of bladder outlet obstruction can be diagnosed.

Question 2

pain associated with extra renal pelvis, what to do?

Accepted Answer

UPJ obst?: An enlarged extrarenal pelvis is a normal variant but can be associated sometimes with a upj obstruction.  A renal scan may help evaluate for an obstructive process.

Question 3

hi, i've been diagnosed with extra renal pelvis with swollen left kidney and constant (almost daily) u.t.is from year 2011. now, heavy mixed elements (may be contaminants) in my water. what does all of this mean, please and what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Need kidney test : you should have a nuclear medicine scan to see if your swollen kidney is blocked. If you have documented infections by urine cultures should be evaluated by urologist.

Question 4

i have pelvic ultrasound yesterday and found out tiny non obstructing nephrolithiasis, bilateral; small renal cyst measuring 9mm, left.should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Renal cysts and ston: Stones in the body of kidney are inert. Cysts can get infected and if large can interfere with renal function. Your doctors can observe and advise over time.

Question 5

mid pole calculus is noted in my right kidney measuring 8.7 mm and mild hydronephrosis with extra renal pelvis is seen in the both kidneys.

Accepted Answer

See professionals...: See an well-experienced urologist to decide if it's necessary to intervene; if needed, at what price? For your condition, a professional needs to share the balancing thought on the need and possibility of care before committing its removal, which usually can be done through the penis with fine scope and laser.

Question 6

momhad ultrasound, they found extra renal pelvis on the right and polyp of 17 by 11mmin the left aspect of the posterior wall.could the polyp b cancer?

Accepted Answer

Where is the: polyp?  In general there is some probability that a polyp anywhere might be malignant, more info is needed.

Question 7

kidney ultrasound results say:
multiple bilateral renal echogenic foci.
pelvic dilation in both kidneys with echogenic calyces. is this concerning?

Accepted Answer

Echogenic: Echogenic means the image can be picked up by ultarasound. So in that sense the kidney itself is echogenic. The dilation of the kidneys could have meaning.  For example if you are a male with a prostate problem. that would dilate kidneys.

Question 8

calcified granulomas within my spleen, bilateral renal cysts, 4mm kidney stone and punctate calcifications in my pelvis, what would the underlying condition be?

Accepted Answer

Mostly normal: These are all trivial imaging findings. The old stuff in your spleen probably reflects a long-ago victory over an infection with histoplasmosis. Kidney cysts are trivial and very common. The calcium stuff in your pelvis is probably phleboliths which never cause trouble. I hope the kidney stone stays in place or can be managed.

Question 9

i have bilateral ovaries enlarged with multiple small follicles at periphery. my right measures 33 x 24 mm and left ovary measures 38 x 22 mm. which medicines and diet should i follow? as i have right renal calculus of size 6.2 mm?

Accepted Answer

: Ovarian follicles are essentially normal, and have nothing to do with a co-existent "renal stone".  Ask your gyn physician about low dose oral contraceptives, which will stop ovulation and follicle production.
