What Does My Renal Sonogram Report Indicate?
Question: Hi I had a renal sonogram and the report said I have a cyst on left kidney which measures 1.9x1.3 . It also states, minimal caliectasis is noted within the left kidney without evidence of hydronephrosis or pelviectasis. ( IMPRESSION) No Hydronephrosis or nephrolithiasis Can you explain this to me please also should I be on an antibiotic. Thank you so much
Brief Answer:
No antibiotics required
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Here are the interpretations to the ultrasonogram
1. Cyst is a collection of fluid in a pouch, cysts are usually found in individuals above the age of 40, it is the normal ageing process. Nothing need to be done about it. However in some instances these cysts get infected and it requires treatment with antibiotics
2. Minimal caliectasis is a cause for concern, it means that the region where the kidney connects to the ureter is mildly dilated, it is most often due to stones or reflux. I suggest you to undergo CT of the kidney ureter and bladder to rule out stones.
Based on this report there is no need to be treated with antibiotic, however I must add here that antibiotics are based on urine routine report and not on ultrasound itself. Please get urine routine done
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
