hi,
Mild "pelvicalyceal dilation" in and of itself means little.
In some persons it is there, right from birth and needs no treatment if the dilatation does not increase gradually.
Dilatation can also occur in case of vesico-ureteric reflux, which disappears after the urinary bladder is emptied.
Get routine urine examination, alongwith kidney function tests.
