Hi xxxxxxx050973,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. It is important to know the reason to get ultrasound scan for your wife.

2. The left kidney shows mild scarring in the upper and lower portion probably due to old infection. It will help to know if your wife had any urinary or kidney infection before.

3. The size and appearance of the left kidney is normal except for scarring and this means that it is probably functioning normally.

In conclusion, the changes in left kidney are from an old infection and not a serious problem if kidney function test is normal.

Hope your query is answered.
