Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Shadow means something blocking the ultrasound waves. It could be a stone or mass in your kidneys. You can go for cystoscopy and if required better to go with an MRI scan which can give a better clinical picture. Consult a urologist and get evaluated for expert opinion.
