Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Ectasia: This refers to a benign dilatation of a part of the kidney collection tubes which drains urine into the ureter leading to the bladder. As long as the urine flow is not impeded, no issues like stone formation or infection should occur. Your study showed only mild dilatation.
