Likely no problem: Extra-renal pelves are a normal variant. Just meen the kidney funnel for urine leaving the kidney is outside the kidney rather than inside. Most cases of mild hydronephrosis or of little or no consequence unless you have kidney pain suggesting obstruction, most likely from a stone. Also needs furether evaluation if you have a UTI especially if infection has reached the kidneys.
