Hello,
In cases of bilateral pelviectasis, we should make sure that the findings are not a normal variant. The best thing to do is too watchful waiting, observe the changes in the following weeks.
Sometimes, this can disappear on its own. In case, there is a real serious problem, it is often associated with other urological issues.
These are noted in the following weeks as the urinary pathways are obstructed, and kidney keeps ballooning. So, do not rush, just keep regular follow-ups with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
