I was recently diagnosed with hydronephrosis of the right kidney on an ultra sound. what is the probability of the ultra sound being accurate?

Ultrasound kidney: Very accurate. Best study to see this. Make sure you follow up with kidney specialist.

Most likely accurate: was it mentioned if it was mild moderate or severe. was there mention of hydroureter? ultrasoud is generally sensitive for diagnosis of hydronephrosis. it is false positive in mild cases sometimes.
