Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There is no need to get worried as kidneys are normal in appearance and there is no obstruction to flow of urine. A urinary bladder volume of 27 cc is acceptable as children at that age cannot hold much urine. You may make him drink adequate amounts of water and fluids to avoid dehydration. He can continue with a normal diet suitable for age.
