?U mean dilatatation: Not a good adjective but likely is referring to kidney being swollen with urine which is known as hydronephrosis. This is most commonly related to some degree of obstruction past or present. Needs 2B treated if due to kidney stone. Mild dilatation, without significant obstruction is usually benign ; requires no treatment. Severe obstruction usually needs surgery.Thus, there is spectrum of severity.
