Mild dilation of pelvicalyceal system needs to be followed up regularly with USG.Renal funtion tests are done to check if the kidneys are functioning well.Often this mild dilatation settles on its own .If not surgical correction is possible.It is not dangerous and life threatening if corrected in time
