Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
Pelvicalyceal system refers to the site of kidney where the kidney becomes a tube like structure called Ureter through which urine enters.
Dilatation of pelvicalyceal system with back pressure changes means there is some obstruction to urine flow ( partial ) because of which the back pressure is increasing and is causing dilatation of pelvicalyceal system .
Most common cause of this obstruction is kidney stones.
I advise you to get Retrograde pyelography test and revert back with report.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
Happy to answer.
Regards.

USG is not a definitive test . It can show normal results inspite of problem being there if the problem is mild .
