What is calyceal diverticulum in the right kidney mean? i have scaring from previous kidney infections.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Renal diverticulum: Calyceal diverticulum is a relatively uncommon cyst-like lesion, often perceived by ultrasound examination of the kidneys. It is a urine-containing cavity within the kidney, often adjacent to the urine collecting system, communicating with the collecting system through a narrow channel.
