Fullness of the renal pelvis suggest back pressure changes. That means there is some obstruction distally. You have 2 urologic issues now.
1. Back pressure changes on the left side requires ascending contrast study to identify the cause of obstruction.
2. Prostatic enlargement with cystitis merits further investigation and treatment. A TRUS along with estimation of post voiding residue will give the exact status of the prostatic problem . It will serve as a road map for further treatment.
Cystitis is perhaps due to incomplete emptying of the bladder due to the prostatic enlargment. that requires treatment of the prostate along with a course of antibiotics.
Remember act fast and promptly.

What is your age and what are the symptoms you are having? It is very common for patients to get worried just by reading the CT report and you should understand that the doctor will treat you and not the report.
By the looks of it, it appears as if you are suffering from a urinary tract infection and this can be treated by a course of antibiotics. Although sub-centimetric lymph nodes have little significance, you should consult your doctor and have your prostate examined. In old age, prostate cancer should be ruled out. You should also get a PSA (prostate specific antigen) level done as it can sometimes point towards a cancer.
Hope it is not something serious and you get well soon.
