Hello
Your findings indicate bilateral dilatation of renal pelvis.It is generally a benign finding.It may be due to over distended urinary bladder.However,it is important to rule out bilateral reflux.You may need repeat ultrasound with both filled and empty urinary bladder.
Other findings are normal.Cortico-medullary differentiation is maintained.
It is good that there is no calculus in either kidneys.
Take Care
