Brief Answer:
This means renal failure.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am sorry to hear the report.But as per report lots of renal/kidney function have been lost over the period and kidneys have become smaller in size.Currently there is obstruction to urine flow bilateral causing right mild hydroureteronephrosis and left dilated proximal ureter.This doctor can take care of.But lost function cannot be regained completely or to significant level.So treatment plan in most cases is dialysis as and when needed.Other option is to getting kidney transplant done.
Cystitis means urinary bladder infection.This can be treated with antibiotics.
You will need care of a nephrologist.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.

Have not done dialysis.
Not having any difficulty this week.
Has both kidneys failed?
Can I postpone dialysis till I get the symptoms?
Your advise on trying any alternate medicine like Ayurveda.

Brief Answer:
High Creatinine and urea levels promote dialysis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Sorry for delay to answer.I was off line.
1. Need size and cortical thickness of right kidney to tell whether both kidneys have lost function.But since right kidney also shows hydronephrosis, looks like it is also partially involved.
2.Symptoms may not present till there is significant accumulation of urea in the blood.So not having symptoms is not clear measure to undergo dialysis or not.
3.Rather than symptoms dialysis can be better decided on levels of serum urea and creatinine.
4.I would not really like to advocate ayurveda in cases like yours.In my practice i have not found them curative nor they are better than allopathy.
Hope this helps.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
