What Causes Pain In The Upper Right Side Of My Back?

Hi. I was in the ER a week ago with pain in the upper right side of my back. A CT scan was done and it said that I had mild bilateral pelviectasis. The CT also said that I have bilateral subcentimeter nonobstructing renal calculi present. None in the ureter or the bladder. Largest renal calculi on right is 3mm and left is 2mm. Also said my bladder was partially distended. Urine test came back with blood in urine. The doctor said I may have passed a stone or would be passing one. Is that what the pelviectasis means? Is it that nonspecific?

Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the findings of C.T scan that you have posted you seem to have small stones in both the kidneys .

Since these are non obstructing stones no active intervention is required .You can expect them to pass out spontaneously .
.
As regard finding of Pelvicalyctasis it is a dilatation of calyces due to congenital narrowing of neck of calyx .It is an accidental finding and has no significance at all and does not require any treatment.
