Hello

Your mother findings may suggests fullness of pelvi-calyceal system in right kidney.It is the dilatation of collecting system in right kidney.
Extra renal pelvis generally doesn't require any treatment.

Fullness of P-C system may be due to many causes like obstruction due to calculus,reflux,PUJ obstruction etc.
It is most likely not related to calculus as it is not mentioned in the report.
Other causes should be investigated and treat accordingly.
She may need IVP(intra venous pyelography) etc.
Treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Take Care
