Hello,

It is an incidental finding and does not require any treatment. In this case there is no stones or fluid collection or obstruction.

You can go for a renal function test as well. If renal function test is normal, nothing much to worry and no treatment is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
