Is Mild Caliectasis A Cause For Concern?
i went to urgent care yesterday and was diagnosed with mild right caliectasis. I did have kidney stones before, but the ultrasound showed no signs of urolithiasis. I was prescribed antibiotics because she thought I may have passed a stone. I do see my urologist at least twice a year.
Should I be concerned?

Hi
Ultrasound will not pick up stones in middle part of ureter and hence to assume that you have passed a stone without a CT scan is not advisable. Please get a CT scan done or contact your urologist earlier.
