Both ureteral jets were identified. Prevoid bladder volume: 441.7ml. Postvoid bladder volume: 69.7ml. Impression IMPRESSION: Moderate hydronephrosis on the right and mild hydronephrosis on the left that does not change with voiding consideration may be given to dedicated CT scan of the kidneys with contrast to determine if a portion of the hydronephrosis/pelviectasis is secondary to an extrarenal pelvis or true mild/moderate hydronephrosis.

Nephrologist 's  Response
Dear Patient,

at the moment the doubt is whether your kidney has a mild dilatation due to a problem in the flux of urine before the bladder, or we are simply observing an anatomical variation. The best exam to identify urinary alterations is CT scan with contrast. Then, other considerations will be done depending on the findings.
