Hello

Your findings may suggest two small calculus in left kidney.
You may need clinical correlation and calculus dissolving drugs like magnesium citrate syrup etc.
It is good that there is no complications like hydronephrosis etc in kidney due to calculus.
As calculus is small,it is expected that calculus will flush out out of the body with medicines and adequate hydration.
You may need to drink plenty of water.
Anechoic structure in kidney may be a simple cyst.Generally it is not concerning.

Take Care
