Hi, Based on the information provided, your grandmother appears to have a condition called hydronephrosis of the right kidney.. This means that the kidney loses its normal structure and becomes enlarged like a bag of water. This affects the kidney's ability to filter waste material.One of the reasons for this condition is an obstruction to the flow of urine. This obstruction could be due to a stone in the urinary tract. It could also be due to conditions such as strictures or tumours etc. I presume that Blood urea and serum creatinine tests have been done for your grandma. How are those values? At the moment a urological opinion is necessary to decide on what should be done next. Should you require further assistance and information please post the subsequent test reports and queries here . Best regards.
