Hello

Your findings suggests minimal left PC dilatation,it means there is minimal back pressure changes in left kidney may be due to calculus in kidney etc.
Your report doesn't mention about calculus etc.
Your condition need to evaluate about underlying cause.
You need proper evaluation by a urologist,
Treatment of renal calculus depend upon many things like composition,position,size of calculus etc.
You may need CT scan of KUB region or IVP(intravenous pyelography)to investigate the underlying cause.
Treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Take Care
