Hello
Thanks for query Based on the report of your scanning I would state that you have stone of a size of 8 mm in your Rt kidney and impacted stone in Left upper ureter causing dilatation of proximal ureter and kidney (Hydronephrosis) .

In a given situation I would suggest following line of treatment .

A stone in Rt kidney can be fragmented with a procedure called Extra Corporeal Shock Wave lithotripsy (ESWL).This is outpatient procedure and does not require anesthesia.

A impacted stone in left upper ureter has to be dealt with an endoscopic procedure called Uretero Renoscopy (URS ) with fragmentation of stone by laser energy and D J stenting .This requires Hospitalization for 2-3 days and done under spinal anesthesia.
