Findings may suggest renal parenchymal disease.It may be due to many reasons like glomerulonephritis,refux etc as it is unilateral.Bilateral disease is generally due to chronic diabetes mellitus,hypertension etc.
Besides clinical evaluation,your wife may need further investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,urine RE/ME,complete renal function test(include serum urea,creatinine,creatinine clearance),GFR,serum sodium,potassium,calcium,chloride,bicarbonate,phosphate,24 hour protein clearance.
