Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
I have gone through your question and as this use scan suggest dilatation of pelvicalacyeal system, I think there is some kind of obstruction at the distal end.
It may be calculus.
So don't panic.
Just to rule out the possibility go for a xray KUB.
And if it appears normal get one MRI done so that we can make a better diagnosis.
For the meanwhile till you are going for scans consult your urologist, so that he can do clinical work up.
I hope it will help you.
Feel free to write us back for any other query or follow up.
