Obstruction

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If there is dilated pelvicalyseal system noted on Ultrasound or CT scan, it means there is something obstructing the passing of urine. It can be at any level and the degree of obstruction can vary over period of time.

Let me know your exact question and situations. I can address it better.
