What Causes Fullness Of Pelvicalyses And Proximal Ureter?

I have had an ultra sound done after pain in right side of abdomen. The report says "Fullness of Pelvicalyces an dproximal ureter seen on right side. This most probably due to distal ureteric obstruction. Would recommend C.T. Pyelogram." What can be the possible causes of this condition?

Urologist 's  Response
Hi
Yes as recommended on the report, I would advise you have a CT of the urinary tract as there is a strong possibility of having a stone in the urinary tract more precicely in right ureter. Ultrasound is not a very good test for stones but CT scan is.
