Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
According to the reports,there's obstruction to urine flow in left kidney.
The cause for this has to be found and treated,if significant.
He should be examined by an Urologist and do the following tests :
1. urine routine and culture.
2. blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,platelets and electrolytes.
3. A CT-IVU. According to these reports,a proper treatment can be advised.
If you've any doubts,send all the reports to me,as a direct question.
