Hello
Your findings may indicate small hypoechoic (dark)lesion in upper pole of left kidney.It may be due to simple renal cyst or focally dilated calyx.Both are generally benign findings and it only require follow up ultrasound.
Simple renal cysts are generally developmental findings and these are asymptomatic in nature.
You may need clinical evaluation.Cyst may cause symptoms if there is infection in cyst or rapid increase in size.
As lesion is small in your case,I suggest for follow up ultrasound only.
Intervention is only required in complicated cases.
Get well soon.
