Question 1

what do  renal pelvis & calyces with no hydronephrosis mean?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal...: Most likely your situation is a normal variant of the vastly wide range of normal anatomies for the human kidney. While hydronephrosis indicates an abnormally "swollen kidney", you specifically state that is not your case. The words "pelvis" and "calyces" are normal anatomical terms used to describe specific areas of the kidney--neither term inherently suggesting any abnormality. So you can relax!

Question 2

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 3

what does it mean if a child has mild dilation of the left renal pelvis with no associated hydronephrosis on an ultrasound? what might cause this, and is it something to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

: Your child probably has a congenital urinary defect which is called ureteropelvic junction, UPJ, obstruction which can be detected by US before birth &amp; it usually gets better when the child gets older. In his case, the abnormality is mild and there is no hydronephrosis so the left kidney function should be intact. I wonder why kidney US was done at 6 years old &amp; if routine fetal US had been done.

Question 4

what to do if i'm 36 wks preg, baby is diagnosed fetal hydronephrosis,renal pelvis measures 7.5cm,will she lose her kidney?

Accepted Answer

Do nothing now: Baby is almost certainly perfectly OK. If renal pelvis 7.5mm, nothing to worry about &amp; will 99 - 100% settle down as a normal kidney. 7.5 cm is very large &amp; will almost certainly require intervention. Will require:- pediatric urologist, post natal US , VCUG &amp; nuclear scan after birth to evaluate swollen kidney for function. Removal only if no or essentially no function. Life with 1 kidney is OK.

Question 5

help me with this , report results from ct scan . there is moderate right renal hydronephrosis . the renal pelvis is dilated up to at last 1.9cm. whitin it there is a 1.6 cm stone?

Accepted Answer

: This report suggests you have a 1.6 cm 
-right sided  kidney stone which is causing obstruction of the urinary tract and thus the term hydronephrosis or swollen kidney from backtracking of urine due to blockage of the pathway ; clearing the kidney stone will technically clear the obstruction and subside the hydronephrosis. You need to be seen soon by a urologist for further management .

Question 6

hi sir,
as per the scanning of abdome and pelvis. below are findings, so please suggest me on this...thanks

1.grade -i fatty liver.
2.multiple right renal calculi (renal mid pole calculus - largest -9mm)
3.left renal calculus-5.5mm.no hydronephrosis.

Accepted Answer

Kidney stones: Your kidney stones can cause you a lot of pain if and when they pass out with your urine. Drink more oral liquids to help pass them. The mild fatty liver is much less concerning and not likely to bother you unless you are overweight, diabetic or both. Be well.

Question 7

mild fullness of renal pelvic bilaterally could represent minimal hydronephrosis." found on pelvic/vaginal ultrasound. could this be from all the watr i had to drink and hold bladder? if no/what?

Accepted Answer

Could be: For pelvic ultrasound the bladder usually needs to be full and therefore encouraged to drink a lot of water.The interpretation of the kidneys sounds like mild amount of fluid in the collecting systems.Unless you are having urinary infections, kidney pain, or kidney stones, this finding is usually insignicant.In some people full bladder can cause back pressure and prominent renal pelves.

Question 8

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 9

unborn baby has 'renal pelvis dilation' at 32 weeks. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Fetal hydronephrosis: Means that kidney pelvis (Funnel for urine before it enters "drainpipe" to bladder) is retaining some urine. Means that there may be degree of blockage, usually of little importance, to urine flowing out of kidney. Very common in Pediatric Urology. Baby needs kidney ultrasound after birth. Wait 2 - 4 weeks if prenatal renal pelvis dilatation is mild. Soon after birth if severe &amp; see Pedi Urologist
