Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
The common cause for renal pelvis dilation is obstruction at the junction of kidney pelvis with ureter.
I advise you to continue Septran as per the prescription and consult the urologist for further opinion.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.

Left renal pelvis dilatation with recurrent UTI warrants long term prophylaxis of an antibiotic to keep urine sterile.septran is one of the two antibiotic for this prophylaxis.so continue with it.dont worry with growing age and continuing prophylaxis this problem will be solved.
