Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

There are small stones in both kidneys which are defined as 5 mm to 6 mm in size and non obstructive. This means that the stones are not causing any block to the passage of urine and should not cause any significant or severe symptoms. It is possible that small stones was passed in to the urinary tract earlier and that might have caused you severe symptoms. Such stones cause mild pain and burning when they travel along the ureters and the symptoms persist for a week after they have passed.

The pancreas is slightly bulky and this requires clinical correlation. Please discuss any upper abdominal discomfort with your doctor and get pancreas enzymes and CA19 9 test done if required. The lung is not evaluated and might require evaluation by doing a chest X ray. Please do not worry.
