Thanks for writing to HCM
According to the report, left kidney is mildly enlarged in size as compared to right kidney.Both kidneys shows normal echogenicity.
There is 8 mm echogenic focus seen in the upper pole of the right kidney without definite posterior acoustic shadowing, it may be due to concretion.
There is single cyst seen in the lower pole of the left kidney measuring 2.4 x 1.6 x 2.3 cm, it may be age related simple renal cyst.
Other findings are normal like there is no hydronephrosis.
Hope i have answered your query.
