Hello and thanks for the query.
If you don't have any sign of obstruction or stone or hydronephrosis then this mild prominence is normal .
This prominence is present in both reports but you got worried by seeing the size mentioned which is normal.
If you repeat your ultrasound after 6 months or a year,you will find the same size of renal pelvis if there is no obstruction or stone.
Relax and forget it.
It doesn't cause any damage or scarring of kidneys.
I hope to have answered your query however you can revert to me for any further query.
Thanks and best of luck.
