What Does Hydronephrosis Mean?
I just had a ultrasound and the findings said moderate left hydronephrosis. Left moderate and mild right real parenchymal thinning and scarring. Nonobstructing left renal stones.
Borderline hepatospenomegaly.
Should I be worried? What does it mean?

Hi
From the findings, it is highly possible that you have got a stone blocking the tube(ureter) draining urine from left kidney. Hydronephrosis means excess urine in the kidney and mostly indicated blockage to the kidney. There are other causes for this including hydronephrosis from birth.
I would advice CT scan of your kidneys without and with contrast and other tests like blood tests and urine tests to find the cause.
