Should I Be Worried About Mild Renal Pelvis And Proximal Ureteral Dilation?
My wife is worried sick over an ultrasound finding regarding her right kidney which states 'there is mild renal pelvis and proximal ureteral dilation which persists on post void imaging'. She had a urinalysis which came back normal. She also only has one kidney (the right) that functions. Is this something to be concerned with?
