Hi ! The presence of small cyst in right kidney could be an incidental finding, but you have to have regular follow up for it. The prominence of bilateral pelvi calyceal system may be signifying some kind of back pressure of the urine may be due to some partial blockage of the ureteric openings . Also the irregularity and scarring seen in the kidneys could be due to unnoticed silent chronic ascending infection of the kidneys. Presently both your urea and creatinine levels are within acceptable normal limits. However, to avoid any complication in future, you should get yourself reviewed by your nephrologist who may advise to get your urine R routine and culture sensitivity test before proceeding further.
Wishing you good luck.
