A member asked:
My xray highlights a discrete left renal pelvicalyceal ectasia not associated with urolithiasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely insignificant: Depends on degree of pelvi-calyceal ectasia. No problem if mild or moderate, but might require further investigation if this is in fact moderate or severe hydronephrosis (swelling containing urine). Some radiologists use these terms interchangeably.
