What Causes The Enlargement Of Kidney With Urinary Tract Infection?

Hi Doctor,
I have a son who is 13 months old ans is recently dioganised with urinary tract infection. During ultrasound scan doctor noticed that one of the kidney is enlarged in size.He suggested for DMSA scan which shows that the there is mild enlargement of left kidney and right kidney is small in size. Also the left kidney has reduced function of 25% and right kidney has 75 % functioning capacity. Now i am concerned about my child s health is there anything to worry? does he has any problems in his kidney?

Any advise is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
