Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
You should've written his age. Hope by scan,you mean a Ct scan.
His creatinine should be normal.
Mild prominence is not of any significance and you don't need to worry.
He shouldn't be having any infection,which's confirmed by urine culture.
However,he should repeat the ultrasound scan after a year.
Only if there's any dilatation seen,he should get a repeat CT-IVU scan.
If you've any doubts,you may send a direct question in my name.
