Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must re-assure you that, don,t worry about scan reports.
Renal pelviectasis, is a normal variation, seen in many people, since birth.
When in doubt, a CT scan will confirm, the kidneys are normal, and not affected in any way. Before doing a contrast CT scan, a test dose is always given, so you don't have to worry, about any allergic type side-effects.
Unless you've a hereditary cause for kidney failure, you don't worry about it.
Adnexal fluid and Mirena don't cause kidney failure. If you have any doubts, you can contact me directly. Wish you well.
