Hello
Mild pelviectasis means little dilatation of pelvis(region of kidney which collects urine) of right kidney.It is not a serious finding.It may be due to many reasons like calculus,reflux,normal variation etc.
You are rightly advised for further investigations.CT scan can exactly assess cause of obstruction like calculus.Further investigations and follow up can be done if needed.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
