Kidney Reports Show Evidence Of Bilateral PC System Fullness, Over Distended Bladder, Ultrasound Of Abdomen Done. Surgery Required?

Hi Doctor, I have my cook's sister in laws ultra sound scan of her abdomen. For her kidney the report says "there is evidence of bilateral PC system fullness, likely due to over distended bladder. Multiple hyperchoic foci with subtle distal acoustic shadowing are noted largest measuring approx 10.1 mm" can this be treated with medication or is surgery required?

Hi,
Your information is incomplete. You have not mentioned the symptoms and age of the patient. I will try to answer assuming certain things. Fullness of pcs indicates some obstruction at the level of ureter or bladder. Check if she is having flank pain and any voiding problems. Hyperechoic areas with post acoustic shadowing suggests possibility of stones. Get her urine examined, kidney function tests and x-ray of the abdomen. Please consult a urologist.
