Brief Answer:
There is a small calculus(stone) in mid-lower pole of left kidney
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Ultrasound major finding suggests small calculus in mid-lower pole of left kidney.
It is good that there is no hydronephrosis in left kidney,this shows non obstructive nature of renal calculus.
Other findings are normal.Right kidney is normal in size.There is no calculus or hydronephrosis noted in right kidney.
Both kidneys are normal in size without any mass etc.
Urine analysis findings are almost normal.
In short,major concern is small calculus in mid-lower pole of left kidney without obstructive features.
Since it is small in size,it is expected to be flushed out from kidney.
You should drink plenty of water.
Some patient may need calculus dissolving drugs after clinical evaluation.
You may need urologist opinion.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
