Hello
Thanks for query .

You have repeated UTI and your ultrasound Scanning has revealed Bilateral Pelviectasis.

Pelvis of the kidney is that part of the kidney where urine gets collected and accumulates for some time and gradually drained it down through ureter in to bladder.

The Pelviectasis is term defined to dilatation of Pelvis which is usually secondary to obstruction to flow of urine which could be due to following three reasons
1) Obstruction in ureter which could be due to stone or spam of ureter .
2) Reflux of urine from bladder into ureter .
3) Inflammation of ureter (Ureteritis)

The primary cause has to be detected by following tests
1) Intravenous Pyelography
2) DTPA scan plain and with Diuretics
