Hello

Gross dilatation of pelvicalyceal system in left kidney may indicate gross hydronephrosis.
It may be due to many causes like calculus,PUJ obstruction etc.
As calculus is not mentioned in the report,it may be due to PUJ obstruction,reflux etc.
You may need CT urography.It is very helpful in assessing exact cause and management.
Proper management depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Take Care
