What Does Ultrasound Report Showing Mildly Prominent Pelvi -calyceal System In Right Kidney Indicate?

My ultrasound report says Findings are suggstive of Mildly prominent pelvi-calyceal system in right kidney. Right Kidney is normal in size, shape, outline and echotexture. Cortical thickness is normal. Corticomedullary differentiation is maintained. No obvious calculus/ mass is seen.

Hi,

Mild prominence of pelvi-calyceal system means that structure is dilated. This happens when there exists obstruction to the out flow of the urine at right side.

Long standing mild obstruction can also affect the kidneys by causing Hydronephrosis and subsequently renal failure.

I suggest you to get the condition well investigated may be with a cystosopy to rule out an obvious obstruction, if there exists an curable obstruction then do the needed soon.

Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work Let me know if you have any further questions.
