Dilated Renal Pelvis: At your age, a dilated renal pelvis may mean a partial obstruction at any point in the renal collecting system is causing a condition known as hydronephrosis. This can be due to a congenital problem with the ureter, a kidney stone, or a myriad of other conditions. You should consult a nephrologist immediately.
