Ultrasound Says. Pelvicaliectisia Of Right Kidney. Ct Scan Done And No Kidney Stones Stones. Reason?

I had KUB Ultrasound and it says, the right kidney measures 9.8 x 4.2 x 5.9 cm and the left measures 9.7 x 4.4 x 4.2 with cortical thickness of 1.3 cm and 1.5 cm respectively. There is a dilatation of the right pelvocalyces. No visible mass or lithiasis. The impression is Pelvicaliectisia, right kidney. Then I had a Citi Stonogram but there's no kidney stone seen and the results are all normal. What could possibly be the reason of Pelvicaliectisia?

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM. With the limited data you have given, Given that your CT scan is normal as well, I suspect it is just a normal variant and you do not have to worry if you are physically not ill and your kidney function tests (blood and urine) are normal. However depending on your symptoms, age, blood and urine tests results we may have to consider further investigations if any/ few of them are not right. I wouls have liked to rule out "Vesico-Ureteric reflux' if you are young with history of recurrent unexplained fever or recurrent urinary infections. Hope this helps. BW. RB
